With Bedrin in the circle, Abby Tanuma (Chula Vista, Calif./Cathedral Catholic) launched a solo home run over the center field fence to extend the Valiant lead to five, 5-0. Manhattanville capped the first inning scoring courtesy of a Casillas two-RBI single to make it a 7-0 game.
  • Down 0-2 in the count in the second frame, Nicole Trani put St. Joseph's lone run on the board with a leadoff solo shot over the left field fence off Valiant starter Feliciano to trim the deficit to six runs, 7-1.  The Valiants tacked on a single run in the second, five in the third and an insurance run to build the 13-run advantage, 14-1.
  • Vivian Tomovich singled up the middle to lead off the fifth inning before Feliciano induced back-to-back flyouts and fired her second strikeout of the day to settle the 14-1 final.
