Harvey shut the door from there, striking out five Pioneers to pick up the victory.
As a team, the Seahawks collected eight hits, as Russ and Garcia led the Green and White with two hits apiece.

Bianca Worthy and
Eve Harvey were the difference in game two. After a scoreless top of the first inning, Worthy led off the game with a solo shot over to right field to give the Seahawks the 1-0 lead.
