\n\tWith no hits in the top of the first, Natalye DeBus<\/a> broke the ice with a two-out single in the opening frame.\u00a0
\n\tThree singles in the home half of the second off the bats of Kaitlyn Moody<\/a>, Victoria Diaz<\/a>, and Karissa Spring<\/a> in that order loaded the bases with only one out for the Jaspers.
\n\tFollowing a fielder’s choice that got Moody out at home plate, Brianna Estevez<\/a> blasted a bases-clearing three-RBI double off the fence in left center field to put three in the run column for the hosts.
\n\tWith a hard act to follow, Samantha Kelly<\/a> knocked a two-bagger to the same spot, scoring Estevez and completing the four-spot in inning number two.
\n\tStarter Karissa Spring<\/a> kept the Pioneer bats at bay, holding them scoreless through the first four off of only three hits.
\n\tIn the fifth, a double and bases-loaded walk slashed the Green and White lead in half, followed by another RBI double in the top of the sixth.
\n\tWith only a one-run advantage headed into the seventh frame, a hit by pitch put the tying run on the basepaths with only one out. A fielder’s choice and flyout\u00a0gave the crowd a sigh of relief, as the Jaspers secured their second conference win of 2026.\u00a0

\n\tFreshman catcher Kendall Penny<\/a> joined infielder Samantha Kelly<\/a> as the lone Jaspers with two hits on the afternoon.
\n\tJunior pitcher Karissa Spring<\/a> controlled the first four\u00a0innings for the Green and White, allowing two earned runs off of five hits.
