Wilson had a chance to score in the sixth with a couple of runners getting to second and third, but both were left stranded.
- The Phoenix took the lead in the first as Sydney Hartle (So., Keedysville, Md. / Boonsboro) hit a sacrifice fly to score Emily Randalls (So., Dillsburg, Pa. / Northern York) and Madison Briggs (Sr., Lock Haven, Pa. / Central Mountain) Drove in Addison Woods (FY, North East, Md. / Tome School).
