Mansfield got that run back in the top of the seventh when Stephanie Simmeth hit a one-out double to left center and moved to third on a field choice on a groundout by Dixon. She scored on a throwing error on the play.

Caitlin Klobosits threw her fifth complete game of the season scattering five hits and striking out three while allowing just one walk. She improves to 5-2 on the season.
