In the second inning, Sophie Mitchell drilled a double to the outfield fence, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch.

The third inning proved to big the “big” inning for the Wildcats as they pushed across five more runs on singles by Hardy and Gracie Saar, doubles by Wian and Kelsey Burrows and a three-run home run by Allison Lininger.

The fourth inning started with a single by Audrey Walker followed by a fielder’s choice by Bowman and an RBI single by Hardy.

In the fifth inning Mitchell reached on a single and was driven in by Harley Kunes’  two run home run over the left center fence.
