The Rebelettes got one of those runs back in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single by Caroline Powers, but the Lady Wildcats pulled away with a five-run frame in the top of the fifth to put the score at 12-3.

The Rebelettes put a dent in the deficit in the bottom of the fifth as Jocilyn DeSmet hit an RBI single, and Sherrill followed with a three-run home run to pull Franklin County back to within five runs.
