This was a game of more or less for the Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers.

Ironton (11-5, 8-2) wasted little time getting its offense in gear with an 8-run first inning.
With one out, Martin singled, Emily Weber was safe on an error, Ferguson walked to load the bases and Martin scored on a passed ball. Sorbilli then spanked a 2-run double.
