Sofia Genareo (Lakewood, N.Y./Southwestern Central) followed up with a double down the third base line. Catherine Burkett (Harborcreek, Pa./Harbor Creek) pinch ran for her. After Alaina Sharp (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County) drew a walk  to put two runners on. Cameron Long (Midlothian, Va./Midlothian) hit a pinch hit double to left, clearing the vases and giving the Gators a 4-2 lead.
 
The Lions threatened in the seventh with two runners on and two outs, but Aleya Belardinelli (Melbourne, Fla./West Shore) struck out the final batter to seal the win.
