Both teams scored runs in the sixth inning Monday.

Bristol took a 2-1 lead when Brooke Dugan, who was 3-for-4, reached second on a dropped flyball and Miranda Colon brought her home with a single. After two groundouts, MECS pitcher Sarah Jacobs struck out Bristol shortstop Alexa Adams to strand Colon at third base.

MECS answered in the bottom half of the inning. Jacobs hit a one-out triple and scored on a wild pitch two batters later to tie the score 2-2.

After a three-batter seventh inning, Bristol threatened again in the eighth. Dugan hit a one-out double, but Jacobs coaxed a groundout and a flyout to end the inning. MECS’ Gretchen Herzberger pitched the ninth inning. She gave up a two-out walk, but Bristol could not bring the run home.

Dickson doubled off the outfield wall to lead off the inning. Emily Merritt put down a perfect bunt, advancing Dickson to third. Merritt went to second when when the base was left uncovered.

MECS’ Shelby Proctor worked the count full. Ball four was a wild pitch and Dickson dashed home with the winning run.

MECS plays Bristol at 4 p.m. today in the championship final. The if-necessary game will follow. The winner advances to the East Region Tournament held in Worcester, Mass. The tournament starts Friday and runs through Aug. 5.
