A sacrifice fly and Gretchen Barstad single pushed the lead to 6-1.
•
Elliana Hopple (Collegeville, Pa./The Episcopal Academy) – entered into the game upon the resumption of play – led things off with a double to right. A sacrifice bunt and

Gabby Wood (Dalton, Pa./Tunkannock Area), who also walked to force in the tying run.
