WA scored again in the fourth when Ross singled and then advamced around to third on a steal and passed ball. Amy Livorsi then hit a sacrifice bunt to score Ross. The Lions tried to rally in the seventh inning, scoring two runs with two outs. The game ended with a routine ground ball to shortstop Desrochers who fired it to Scannell to end the game.
