Â
Julia Hollingsworth, Josie Muffley and Haley Meinen each went 2-for-4 to lead the Golden Hurricane (28-14, 9-3), who left 10 runners on base.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Pirates strung together three straight one-out singles – the last of which came off the bat of McClellan – to take the 1-0 win and avoid the series sweep.
