Notre Dame softball coach Jeff Graviett warned his all-state outfielder to remain alert at third base.

Brianne Sanders, who had reached with a one-out single, scored the winning run on a passed ball to lift the Bulldogs to the title at Saturday's Jackson Invitational.

Sanders raced home without a play for the 3-2 win over Festus.

"Didn't have a chance," Graviett said about the catcher's chance to corral the pitch that got away.

Sanders singled and went to second on a single by Summer Burger. Sanders moved to third on a fly out and scored on the errant pitch.

Katie Bond had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning before Festus struck for two runs, including a homer by pitcher Mollie Carter.

The Bulldogs went 4-0 on Saturday to capture the title. It capped an eight-game week, and the Bulldogs won all eight to improve to 17-0 this season.
