All-state pitcher Megan Schmidt was on the losing end after pitching seven innings with 10 strikeouts, three hits, two earned runs and one walk. Rylan Harris showed her all-state stuff by going seven innings with eight strikeouts, four hits and no earned runs. Kylie Twellman hit a two-RBI home run in the sixth inning. Schmidt had a RBI double for North Callaway in the third inning, and Ella Neal, Camrey Green and London Fountain each had a hit.
