The Cavs continued the onslaught in the second as Lexi Hodge and Jordan Nunn ripped back-to-back singles. Kimble followed with an RBI grounder for a 4-0 edge. With two outs, Hill and Ragan Halsey both delivered run-scoring singles to up the Carroll cushion to 6-0.

Nunn opened the fourth with a single and a steal of second base. She later scored on Hill’s RBI single to put the Cavs ahead 7-0. Lindsey then led off the fifth with a single before scoring on Ashley Willard’s RBI double. Willard later scored after Nunn reached on an error.

Tazewell’s lone run came in the bottom of the fifth after an error.
