• Two innings later, the Panthers extended their lead to 3-0. Priest once again led off the inning with a hit, then moved to second on a wild pitch. Wolfe worked a full count before lining a ball into right-center field to score Priest.
• The Brown and Gold then put two more runners in scoring position following a Greyhounds defensive miscue. Moore followed with a ground ball to the left side that plated Wolfe.

• Adelphi answered immediately in the bottom of the inning. Klepper led off with a single through the left side, and Fisher followed with a double down the left field line on the second pitch she saw.
