In the top of the third inning, Becca Littler was walked to start off the inning, with Jenna Rowley hitting a grounder to short stop, and Mersadez Richter and Reagan Carney were hit by pitch. Littler, Rowley and Richter all were able to make it around the bases, and put AC/GC in the lead 3-1.

The Chargers held the Hawks scoreless in the bottom of the inning, but were held scoreless themselves in the fourth, while Woodward-Granger racked up five runs to take the 6-3 lead. The Chargers picked up two runs in the fifth inning, with the RBI’s coming from Emerson Van Meter and Belle Fagan, and Richter and Carney making their way around the bases, bringing to a one run game.
