Wakefield has won their last six by a combined total of 69-2.

The Wakefield advantage inflated to double figures with a seven-run third inning.
Brenna Colleran mashed a single off of the top of the wall in left to bring home Noa Grunow. Colleran and Lauren McDonald came around on a Madison Uhrig double that put the Wolverines up six. Masingale unloaded on a pitch and drove it deep over the wall in center, and two batters later, Harrison did the same.
Lampman touched them all in the fifth with a long two-run home run. The sophomore finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in. Masingale had a 3-for-4 afternoon with four RBI.
Aniela Piscorik went the distance in the circle and allowed no runs on five hits and one walk, she also struck out three.
