The Aggies and the No. 10 Leroy Bears had a classic pitchers' duel Thursday, March 20 in Leroy. Bridget Chancey and Leroy's Meg Smith both had outstanding games.

Chancey allowed just two hits and fanned eight Bears to pick up the win. Smith was working on a perfect game heading into the sixth inning when the Aggies bunted their way to victory with three straight bunts that worked to perfection.
