Pearl picked up two more runs in the fourth as they advanced their lead to 5-1. After hits hits from KeKe McKay and Pant, WC eventually put some runs on the board. An inside-the-park homerun from Sydney Hern put the score at 5-4.

A single from Reagan Dean and a double from KK Williamson tied the game at five in the final inning. McKay would also get another hit just before Pant smashed the final RBI to give WC the 6-5 win. 

Williamson pitched the second half of the win and Emily Muirhead finished with two hits. 

The Lady Vikes will play again on Tuesday.
