The Green and Gold got on the board in the bottom of the third. Emily Cutrona (Buffalo, N.Y. / West Seneca West) worked a two-out walk and stole second. She came home on an RBI double to left by Olivia Flynn (Williamson, N.Y. / Williamson). Hailey Jasinski (Buffalo, N.Y. / North Collins) followed with a single to center to score Flynn and make it 4-2 in favor of the Huskies.
The Wolves looked for two-out magic again in the fourth as Kaylin Ritenour (Madison, Pa. / Yough) doubled down the leftfield line, but she would be stranded at second.
Southern Maine would add three runs in the sixth and an additional run in the seventh to defeat the Wolves 8-2.
