She started off the bottom with a walk to first, and Lexi L’Hullier followed her to second. Kaitlyn Penfield began the game for Cheboygan with a lead-off throwing error. Amelia Johnson followed her to base with a walk, and Penfield scored on a passed ball. Sheila Lavine followed and was able to send herself and Amelia home leading to an end of inning score of 3-0.
