The Trojan offense was led by freshman Gracie Lawson who drove in all four of Potosi’s runs, including a three-run home run in the first inning, driving in junior Chelbi Poucher and sophomore Emily Hochstatter. Sophomore Jade Williams, senior Emma Eaton, and Poucher, Hochstatter, and Jarvis also had hits in the contest.
