Beyla Remer hit a leadoff double, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a bounce-out to put the Bulldogs up 1-0 in the first.

The Bulldogs put the first of those previously mentioned crooked numbers on the board in the fourth.
Kendall Glonek singled and was chased to third on Carli LaGrange’s base hit. An error plated one Bulldog run, then Cara Ludlow blasted a two-run homer to extend the Swanton gap to 5-0.
Evergreen got one back in the top of the sixth when Riley Studenka reached on an error, went to third on Sydney Bull’s single and scored on a wild pitch. However, the Bulldogs put the game away in the bottom of the inning.
