In game two, Lowell jumped out to a 2-0 lead behind the stellar pitching of Kalie Petroejle.
Jension battled back to tie the game in the fourth inning before breaking it open in the sixth inning with five runs.
“They got some hits and we committed a few costly errors,” said Lowell softball coach Bill McElroy.

Shelby Wolbers led the Red Arrow offensive assault with two hits, two runs batted in and she scored four times.
