Duff started the game in the circle and finished the game in the circle, picking up her first win of the season while tossing 7 innings, giving up just three hits and striking out three. Warriors head coach Chris Starkey complimented the defense behind Duff.

DeSoto’s three hits came from Evelyn Boyer, Bella Oelzen, and Krystin Keath. Head coach Chris Woelich thought Duff just did a good job all around to stump his offense.
