"Stampfli is a stud. She will get in trouble and get out of it," Titans coach Cindy Suess said. "I thought Sullivan pitched pretty well. We did a good job both offensively and defensively. The first game we hit the ball well. The second game it took us a while to get going and once you start hitting the ball it's contagious."

The Titans started out slow in game two as Knorr retired her first 11 batters until Allen knocked down a single as the Red Hawks (5-8) jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead.

"I came in nervous. I knew I had to be at the top of my game and it made me throw harder," Knorr said. "Stampfli was pitching just as well as I was and I knew I had to top her. I really wasn't rattled until LeMahieu hit the home run."
