The Hornets benefited from an error by the Wolverines' third baseman with two outs in the third to score the first run of the game. Haley Garcia stepped up next and singled up the middle to score Jordan Elias and extend the lead 2-0 and that was all the offense Fullerton needed.
Garcia finished with two hits. Coco Siono added a double
