Meghan Bradley then knocked in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly. Two batters later Katey Roth hit another single to center that scored a run to put the Phoenix up 6-4.

The Crusaders got back within striking distance in the top of the fourth as they knocked in a run on a single to center. Wilson added a run later on in the bottom of the fifth as Katey Roth struck again, hitting another single to center to put her team up 7-5. Megan Potter (Hagerstown, Md., South Hagerstown), who took over on the mound back in the fourth inning, struck out the side in the top of the sixth as the the Phoenix offense tacked on three more runs in the bottom half of the inning. Alison Shockey doubled to start the inning and then scored on a Taylor Durant double.
