Jordan Goodrich and Kenzie Dore also had two hits each. Goodrich scored two runs, including smacking a two run homer in the fourth inning.
Brewer got on the scoreboard in the third inning when they took advantage of a Ponies error to score three runs. Foxcroft cut the deficit to 3-1 when Kierra Prescott led off the fourth inning with a single and came around to score on a Jenna Clukey double.
Brewer responded quickly when Goodrich hit her blast to right field. The Ponies had a threat in the fifth but that was halted when Brewer centerfielder Emily Lord made a perfect throw to the catcher Goodrich to retire Cassidy Marsh at the plate. The Witches put the game away with five runs in their last two at bats.
The top three in the Witches order combined to go 7-11 with five runs scored and four RBI. MJ Sellers had one hit, one run scored, and one RBI. Olivia Cattan walked twice and scored two runs.
