THS made it 3-2 in the fifth. With one out, Emily Konkel and Diascha Piedra got base hits and Lexie Niebrugge followed with an RBI single.

After the Lady Hatchets extended their lead to 6-2 in the seventh, the Lady Shoes made it interesting in the bottom of that inning. Three WSS errors accounted for one run and Kaylee Niebrugge drove home the second with a base hit, but the rally ended there.
