Meador had three of her squad’s seven hits, scored twice and drove in four runs.

Coley singled twice and drove in a run, and Turner crossed the plate twice.

Coley allowed five earned runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. She walked one and struck out eight.

Kayla Frye came on in relief of Coley in the fifth inning, but Coley reentered the game to start the sixth inning and held Stone Memorial scoreless over the final two frames.
