The Gators went ahead 2-0 in the opener after an RBI double by Rachel Ryan (West Salem, Ohio/Northwest) and an RBI single by Marci Potuzko (Greensburg, Pa./Hempfield Area).
Allegheny added to the lead with four runs in the sixth as Allison Korotkin (Birmingham, Mich./Detroit Country Day) connected on a three-run homer and Maggie Bodenlos (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shady Side Academy) singled home her sister Abby Bodenlos (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shady Side Academy).
Amanda Downey (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) went the distance and allowed seven hits while picking up her 12th victory of the season.
Alati Gagne tossed the first 3.1 innings for Hiram in the losing effort while Whitney Dropsey and Kelly Langland were each 2-for-3 at the plate.
