After a trio of dry innings, Mallorie Beutel grounded out to shortstop to score Mati Hughes and tie up the game 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth. Grace countered Marian's push with a grand slam to take back their lead by four. The Knights fought back with a single from Rundle to get on base, but came up short in the bottom of the sixth. The Lancers made their final push with a sacrifice fly into center field, followed up by a two-run double to extend their lead to seven.
