Taggart pitched a no-hitter and struck out eight; at the plate, she went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and seven RBI.

The Seagulls (6-4, 7-10) set the tone early by scoring 10 runs in the first inning.

Oak Harbor scored in the fourth inning when Natalie Fiallos walked, stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored on a passed ball.
