Ivey would collect another RBI in the second inning with a double to left field that scored Nugent.
 
LC would add two more runs in the  bottom of the third on two hits and an HPU error before Gruehl finished off the Lady Jackets with a shot into the left center gap for an RBI double that scored Ivey.
