of the Titans sails.
Danner came back in the
bottom half of the frame with
another RBI-hit, giving her
team the 8-1 advantage. She
fi nished the contest with three
hits and four RBIs.
Two more came across in

the game early in the follow-

fi rst lead of game two at 6-5.

Harris forced the last batter
to ground out to second to
end the game.
“Nigel had a heck of a
