Lakeland rallied with 2 runs in the sixth, getting RBI singles from Brianna Gaedtke and Sam Marchant, and the Muskies rallied in the seventh, with McKenzie Staudinger and Callie Linders driving in runs, but sophomore righthander Shelby Morris (Centerburg) retired Gaedtke for the final out to finish off the complete-game win.

Journey was 2-for-3 and Morris went 2-for-4 for Ohio Wesleyan.

The Bishops took the lead in the bottom of the first against Westminster, as Panozzo led off with a single and scored on a Westminster error after a single by sophomore outfielder Rylea Gist (Delaware/Hayes).
