Taylor Wilson scored Boerne’s run in the bottom of the fourth after she singled, moved to second on the throw, stole third and then made it home on a Krause ground out and it was 7-1.

In the fifth, Cerissa Nasis tripled to bring in a run and the Lady Hounds were up 8-1.

Wilson added Boerne’s final run in the bottom of the sixth after she reached first, stole second and then scored on a Krause single to make it 9-1.
