Wednesday’s game remained scoreless until the fourth when senior Taylor Beardslee broke it open with a solo homer to center field.
The Falcons added two more in the fifth off a single by junior Alondra Echiverri and a double by senior Makayla Harp before JDHS got a run back in the bottom of that inning with a double by sophomore Elisa Fabrello.
Echiverri blasted a three-run homer to left field that sent the Falcons up 6-1 in the sixth inning to put the game out of reach. Echiverri was a perfect 4-4 from the plate Wednesday. The Falcons added three more runs in the seventh to close scoring.
