In the third inning Vanessa Sanders came back to deliver another home run to center field. Rebekka Gross, Megan Mello and Mia Acuna followed up by putting up one run each to make it 7-0. It looked like Rebekka Gross had seal the deal in the 4^th inning when she scored another run to make the game 8-0. However, that was not the case the Wildcats dropped 6 runs in the 5^th inning, and it looked like the Wildcats might have had a chance but the Lady Coyotes played solid defense and shut down the Wildcats allowing only one run in the 7^th inning.
