Thorn picked up the RBI on a sacrifice fly to plate Miller and move Pulcher to second. With two outs, Sheridan singled to center to send Pulcher home for the 3-1 lead.

BPCC got to within one run again in the fourth inning but LSC-PA managed to extend its lead with a critical fourth run in the sixth. Hernandez doubled to open the inning and with two outs, Andrus singled to right to push home the run for a 4-2 Seahawks lead.
