Top of the 3rd, Shannon Fitzgerald walked and moved to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by Tori Balta. After Megan Foglesong was intentionally walked, Annie Dreher had something to say about that and singled to left, scoring Fitzgerald. Rooney had a hard hit single right at the pitcher and advanced Foglesong to 3rd and to home on a wild throw by the pitcher. In the bottom of the 4th, after being intentionally walked the previous two times, Canyons strongest hitter came to the plate. With Moore and Mortensen deciding to pitch to her, she hit a homerun to center field. That was followed by a very hard hit ball up center that Kemp dove for and threw the runner out at 1st. The next batter singled to right, followed by a bunt to Mortensen who threw to Lauren Boser for the out and Boser throwing to 2nd to get the lead runner for the 3rd out of the inning. Top of the 5th, Balta singled and went to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by Boser. Top of 6th, Rooney singled to center. Moore singled to left.
