Alyvia Lawrentz singled to left and Abbi Revalee then singled to right to drive in Lawrentz.

Following a walk to Brumfield, Cantrell singled to right to knock in Revalee.

Micah Mann then turned on the first pitch she saw and doubled to center, driving in both Brumfield and Cantrell.

Cantrell went 2-for-4 with two RBI to lead the Vikings.

Isabel Sayre tossed four scoreless innings of relief and struck out four and Lawrentz finished the final frame and struck out the side.
