Champion scored 6 runs in the second and 7 in the fifth on its way to a 14-4 victory over the Warriors.
The Lady Chargers are 3-2 in district and improved to 9-9 overall.
Pieper was steady and scored runs in the first three innings but only one run per frame. They added a single run in the fifth to get their four runs.
Champion added its runs in bunches and after falling behind 2-0, exploded for 6 in the bottom of the second and never trailed from there.
The Chargers were up 6-3 after three and then Pieper scored a run in the fifth to make it 6-4, but Champion answered with 7 runs in the bottom of the fifth for the 13-4 lead. They had a runner on base and could have ended it there, but the Warriors took the game to the sixth where the Chargers did end it.
