Later with the bases full, new pitcher Kristin Beaty hit
Maria Seserko (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) to force in another run for a 7-3 score and just one out. Beaty was able to get a foul out and called third strike to end it.

Neumann used a sac fly for a run in the third and a RBI single in the fifth to lead 2-0. The Knights used three-straight hits to open the sixth to go on and score six runs. Callie Emel's two-run triple made it 8-0 and enforced the eight-run rule.
