Then it was a scoreless third and fourth inning for both teams and the Panthers roared to life in the fifth inning plating five runners while the Chargers only got one runner across home plate. Both teams scored one run apiece in the sixth inning and then a scoreless seventh inning put the Panthers girls on top 11-9. The Panthers girls managed their 11 runs on eight hits throughout the night while the Chargers got nine runs on 10 hits.
