Single hits came from the bats of Megan Preszcator, Nikki Cyr, Jessica Davies, Kerri Fulton, Jessica Bray and Margaret Geurts. Carie Pertschy had great range in the fielding position. Bray was the starting pitcher with one strike- out with relief from Pertschy Carrie Dixon also with one strikeout. Carie host team. A two -run second inning allowed the local team to take the lead but a strong seventh inning by Ilderton was Crediton's demise. Allyson Squire and Carie Pertschy played superbly on second base. Amber n Squire Preszcator led her team at the plate with a triple and sin- gle. Jessica Bray pounded out a triple while single hits came from the bats of Janelle Dykstra, Katelyn Squire, Rachel Michielsen and Annette Grotentraast.
