In the top of the third, Angela Orozco would reach on an error and Maci Tripp would hit a single and put runners on first and second. Delaney Riddle would hit a single to center field, scoring Orozco and giving the Rams their first run of the day. The Rams wouldn't get a baserunner until the fifth inning when Orozco and Tripp got on with a hit and a walk. Riddle would hit a double to right field and both runners would score on the hit. Crown would win the game 16-3 after getting the last out of the inning. The game ended in five innings.
