heading into the bottom of the third, when Flores scored
on a fielder's choice to put Saint Anselm up by one. The
Hawks tacked one more run later in the inning, as Haubrich
stole home to make the score 2-0.
The Hawks attempted
to put the Ravens away for good with three more runs in
the fourth and fifth innings, but four Saint Anselm errors
led to a seven-run rally in the top of the sixth to put
the Ravens up 7-5.
Christopher singled
in Haubrich to narrow FPC's lead to one run, but the Ravens
held on to clinch the win.
Wotton picked up the
win, as she allowed just one earned run on four hits, struck
out one and walked none in two innings of work. Saint Anselm's
