The Troubadours cut into the lead in the top of the third with a four-run inning sparked by two-run single by Alejandra Garcia, who went 3-for-4 with three runs scored in the contest. St. Francis added two more runs aided by back-to-back errors by the Trojans.

Oak Ridge pushed the lead to 9-5 with two runs in the fourth only to give up four again to the Troubadours in the top of the fifth. Alexis Viramontes singled in a run and Shelby Tevis hit a three-run home run to tie the game at nine.
