A big fourth inning saw Karley Beltran single up the middle to score Woodard and Sadler to take a 4-0 lead. Laci Campbell delivered a clutch triple to bring in Julia Piotrowski and Beltran, propelling the Marlins to a comfortable 7-0 advantage.

In the fifth inning, Olivia Knight walked and pinch runner Emily Halloway stole second and third before Joslyn Woodard hit a sacrifice fly to score Halloway to seal the 8-0 win.
