That\u2019s when Macy Pries got her only hit of the game, a single to center. Bekah Patterson followed that up with another base hit to right, giving Macy the perfect opportunity to go first-to-third. Peyton Pries belted one into the outfield with plenty of space for Macy to tag up and score and make it 2-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/98.158.76.108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image0-637x1024.jpeg?resize=396%2C637\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-985\" width=\"396\" height=\"637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image0.jpeg?resize=637%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 637w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image0.jpeg?resize=187%2C300&amp;ssl=1 187w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image0.jpeg?resize=768%2C1234&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image0.jpeg?w=824&amp;ssl=1 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Peyton Pries poses with her home run ball after finishing the game at pitcher and picking up the save in the Starfires&#8217; win at Homestead. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For an extra insurance run, Sofia Schwartz singled to right and knocked in Patterson, who tagged up and went to third on the play at the plate to get Macy Pries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Starfires had eight hits in the game, with two coming from Reagan Beitler.
