Eagles pitcher Brie Tennyson (14-8) was the tough-luck loser. The freshman standout allowed three hits, walked two and struck out 11, bringing her season strikeout total to 259.

First-year Christian Life coach Tim Knight said Tennyson and seniors Kelly Rintelman, Kristi Shaw, Megan Pennock and Jasmine Dillard “raised the level of expectation on and off the field this season.”
