double and scoring on an error in the fourth. She added a run in
the sixth and an RBI in the seventh, going 4-for-4 in the game.

The Bullets answered with three runs in the bottom of the first
with the help of a two-run double from Kara Kempski.
The Devils capitalized on Bullet errors to score three unearned
runs in the second and another in the third to take a 6-3 lead.
