In the bottom of the fourth, the Blue Hawks had their only other run when Riley Wilson made a base hit off a grounder to the mound, sending teammate Belle Cooper home.
With the Trojans already up 15-2 going into the top of the fifth, Finley socked a line drive into center field for a triple with the bases loaded, scoring Chapel, Tunison and Ramirez.

Going into the second game, Hermes held the Blue Hawks to no hits and one walk in the top of the first inning. In the bottom of the inning, Tunison reached home from third after a line-out to centerfield by Becquart, and Ramirez scored on a grounder by Finley.
The Trojans held Thompson Falls scoreless again in the top of the second, with the final out on a pick play, when Hermes snapped the ball to Winebark at first.
But the Troy bats weren’t as strong in the bottom of the inning, and the second inning ended with no runs for either team.

In the bottom of the inning, the Trojans pushed back, with Ramirez scoring on the throw after a base hit for Finley, and Finley came home off a line drive by Rice to center field.

Troy held off Thompson Falls again in the top of the fifth, and in the bottom of the inning the Trojan bats came alive to retake the lead.
A line drive double by Winebark scored a run for Ramirez, and Finley followed her in on the throw. On the next play, a grounder to third by Rice sent in Winebark.
Thompson Falls managed one more run in the top of the sixth, but were unable to get anything more out of the Trojans.
With no more runs scored the rest of the game, Troy ended with an 8-7 win.
