During the final day of play, Duran pitched her best game all weekend with just three hits, no walks, and two strikouts in an 8-0, six-inning victory over the Yellowjackets.
In additon to her efforts on the mound, Duran also contributed offensively with two hits on the weekend, one of which was for extra bases.
