Wells 6, Morrisville 4
The Express held off a late Morrisville threat by turning a double play to end the game. Wells led by two with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh. The Morrisville batter grounded to third base, where Kubo fielded the ball, tagged the runner, and threw to first for the twin-killing to end the game.
Pearce earned the win in the pitching circle with five innings of work. She allowed four runs on five hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Conover picked up a save with two shutout innings of relief work.
Wells scored in the top of the first on an RBI groundout from Cullen to bring in Kubo. In the third, Kubo hit a run-scoring double to bring in Clara DiMino, and two runs scored on the following at-bat by Rorick, which yielded an infield error. Wells added single runs in the fourth and seventh.
DiMino led Wells with three hits and two runs scored, while Hailey Stewart and Kubo had two hits each.
