Mineral Point broke through in the third inning to take control. Jadyn Schultz brought in a run with a sacrifice fly, and Aida Tuttle followed with an RBI single down the left field line to extend the lead.
Deerfield’s Addison Haas went the distance but took the loss, giving up six runs-only two earned-on seven hits while striking out one and walking one.
Schultz added to the offense with two RBIs from the middle of the lineup. The Pointers also applied pressure on the bases, swiping four bags in the game.
