Chassidy Carlson gave Marion a 2-0 lead Monday with a two-run single in the bottom of the first inning, but it was all the offense the team could muster.
Hillsboro freshmen Courtney Weber and Franny Gottsch shut down the Warrior bats the rest of the way, en route to a 12-2 first-round regional victory at Marion.
Carlson’s hit came after the Warriors loaded the bases with two hits and a walk from its first three batters.
Brooke Johnson then hit a line drive that was caught by the Hillsboro first baseman who doubled off Jordan Harper for the first two outs.
Carlson came through with the big hit, but Weber settled down and Gottsch closed out the game.
The Warriors finished the season at 2-19, but will not lose any players to graduation.
Johnson and catcher Emily Rogers are the only juniors who were part of the regular starting lineup.
