In Game 3, Cotter was led by Chelsea Cierzan, who went seven innings, struck out five and walked two. Cierzan also relieved in the first two games.
“(Chelsea) pitched very well for us,” Cotter coach Pat Bowlin said. “She was effective all day and was a bright spot for us.”
Jenny Gilbertson went 3-for-3 with an inside-the-park home run and two RBIs and Lauren Bowlin went 2-for-3 with two RBIs for the Ramblers.
In Game 1, Cotter fell 7-3 to Henry Sibley. Anna Buege went 2-for-4 for Cotter.
In Game 2, the Ramblers fell 6-0 to Maple Grove. Buege and Allie Gernes each went 2-for-3 for the Ramblers.
“In the first two games, we didn’t make any plays to help out our pitchers,” Bowlin said. “We didn’t hit that well in the clutch. We had runners on base, especially in the first game. It wasn’t until the third game that we started getting clutch hits.”
