The second inning saw Warren extend their lead to 6-0, picking up two more runs while leaving two runners on base. Parker’s Chapel threatened in the third, scoring three after again loading the bases, but Warren still held a 6-3 advantage heading into the bottom half.
After a quiet third at the plate, Warren added a run in the fourth to push the lead to 7-3. Parker’s Chapel continued to put pressure on, loading the bases in the fifth and managing to score one, but Warren held firm. The Lady Jacks responded with two key insurance runs in the sixth before shutting the door in the top of the seventh to seal the 9-4 win.
