Kaitlyn Chell walked and
Jessica Rodriguez singled to load the bases, but the Lions couldn't capitalize with any more than the one run in the inning.
Brooke Yerger had two of the Lions' six hits.
In the team's second game of the day,
Lynsie Grant earned her first career victory as the Lions defeated Lancaster Bible, 7-2. The Lions used a five-run fourth inning to put the game out of reach.
Stephany Courtney had a two-run single in the frame, and
Camille Sears recorded one of her three RBIs on the game.
