Then the Panthers woke up the fire that coach Amanda Minchski’s team hasn’t needed much of in their early-season hot start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rare walk by Fuller, issued with one out in the home half of the fifth, started a Snider rally. Two well-placed singles followed and the home team brought the tying run to the plate with the bases loaded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ameera Kummer hit a ball hard into center field to put Snider on the board, but a good throw by Abriyah James kept the bases loaded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuller then struck out the next batter on three pitches and got out of the inning with a swinging strikeout to keep Snider at bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
