With two outs in the bottom of the 3^rd, Morgan Norris singled to set up Andie Dizon who doubled to bring her in, making it 2-0 after three innings.

A six-run 4^th inning busted the game wide open for the Bobcats, batting around in the inning.

Morgan Norris made the big splash in the inning, hitting a grand slam to left field to widen the Bobcat lead to 8-0.
