Rochester manufactured just enough offense to edge Williamsville 1-0, with the game’s only run coming in the top of the 6th inning.
With one out, Isabella Harness laid down a sacrifice bunt that forced a play at first. An error by the Williamsville first baseman allowed Emmah Brown to come home, giving the Rockets the decisive run.
From there, Jaelyn Watts took over. The Rochester ace was dominant in the circle, tossing a complete-game shutout while allowing just two hits and striking out 15.
Despite matching Rochester with two hits, Williamsville couldn’t break through against Watts, as Rochester’s pitching and defense sealed the tight victory.
