A two-out error from the Rebelettes in the bottom of the third allowed another run to score for Giles County to increase the early deficit to 3-0.

Kaitlyn Montgomery drew a leadoff walk for the Rebelettes in the top of the seventh and advanced to second base on a groundout from Partin.

Mollye Casey recorded a two-out RBI single a few batters later to drive in Montgomery and bring the potential tying run up to bat, but a flyout then ended the contest as the Rebelettes lost by two.
