Whitney Davis and Moira Wonders helped pull the Badgers into a first-place tie with the Rovers atop the Chagrin Valley Conference’s Valley Division.
Wonders tossed a four-hit shutout, striking out 10 batters. The Berkshire pitcher was tremendous with runners on base after Rootstown got its leadoff hitter aboard in the third, fourth and sixth innings. Wonders also had an RBI single as part of the Badgers’ two-run top of the seventh to pull away. Davis, Berkshire’s leadoff hitter, provided a further spark, going 3 for 3 with a walk, double, two runs and four stolen bases.
