Taylor Jackson earned her sixth season win in the circle allowing seven hits with just one earned run and eight strikeouts. Muhlenberg's Haley Peterson took the loss with seven earned runs, two walks, and a pair of K's.
Game two versus the Wesley Wolverines started out with three error-free innings for the Angels leading to a four hit, three run series to take control of the game.
In the top of the sixth, Wesley led off with a single and moved the runners into scoring position with a double to left field. Lauren Marbrey struckout the third batter and took care of the next batter at first.
With two outs on the board and two runners on base, Wesley's Kateri Peters advanced on an infield error to score a run. Unphased with the offensive effort, Marbrey struckout the Wolverine's right fielder to get Meredith out of the inning unharmed.
The Avenging Angels' defense put away Wesley in the top of the seventh to finish of the win.
Marbrey allowed five hits with no earned runs to go along with two walks and three strikeouts for her fifth career win. Lindsay Siok registered the loss for Wesley with three earned runs in seven hits, one walk, and five strikeouts for the loss.
