The Bearcats closed the scoring with two runs in the sixth. Jarvis collected his third and fourth RBI of the game with a two-run double.

Ladycats 10, Brewer 0

Megan Reynolds threw a four-hitter and did not walk a batter to lead the Ladycats to a 10-0 victory in a game stopped in the bottom of the sixth due to run rule.
