Lincoln-Way West took an early lead in the second inning when junior Reese Cusack hit a two-run home run to left field, giving the Warriors a 2-0 advantage. Cusack finished the game 1-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored.
In the fourth inning, Paige Seivert led off with a single and later scored on a double by Reese Rourke. Rourke also went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run. The Warriors accumulated six hits during the game.
Brueggmann contributed offensively as well with a double, while Kaylea Armstrong added another extra-base hit for Lincoln-Way West.
