Danielle Masterson paced the Bronco's in the circle and at the plate going 3-for-5 with a double, run scored and four RBI's. While in the circle she just merely pitched a two hit shutout complete game with three walks and 13 strikeouts. 

Hampden had 13 hits in the game. Along with Masterson other hitters were, Allee Wellman, (single, run, rbi); Maya Brown (2 singles, run); Cam Neal (single); Meaghan Delahanty (single, rbi); Callie Small (2 singles, run); Emma Chute (double, 2 runs); and Charlee Chute (2 singles, 2 runs, rbi).

The Eagles were held to two hits, both coming from their pitcher, Maddi Wilson (2 singles); Ellie McDonald, Morgan Wills and Olivia Wrigley all received walks. 

Wilson pitched four innings allowing eight hits and five runs with one walk and three strikeouts. Wills pitched the final two innings allowing five hits and three runs, all unearned, while walking one and striking out six. 

This is a tough field to hit on when the sun is out. It sits in left field staring at the batter and catcher. An excellent job by all the catchers today. Not many passed balls from either team.
