Later in the inning, first year designated player Madison Marks (Edgewater Park, N.J.) belted a grand slam to drive in four and bump the lead to 6-0.
  • A sac-fly by Marks in the second made it a 7-0 score before she drove in another run in the fourth on an RBI single to put the run-rule in effect at 8-0. First year outfielder Abigail Farr (Windsor Locks, Conn.) drove in the final run of the night with an RBI groundout to account for the 9-0.
