Box Score

Montana Mang's RBI double in the Pitt-Johnstown first inning chased home Morgan Cannin, before Weiser connected for a solo homer in the second to make it 2-0.
 
However, Upper Iowa answered with four runs in the third off of Pitt-Johnstown starter Melissa Wagner and never gave up that lead.
 
Hoover's solo blast in the top of the fourth cut it to 4-3, but Upper Iowa followed with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame.
 
Pitt-Johnstown loaded the bases in the sixth and came away with one run when Weiser's bases loaded walk forced Mang home, but Upper Iowa went on to the 7-4 win.
 
Along with Hoover and Weiser's homeruns, Mang finished 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.
 
Wagner fell to 0-4 after allowing all seven runs on eight Upper Iowa hits in the complete-game.  Wagner also fanned four.
