The top of the fourth inning saw Timpson rally for two runs when Erica Renick and Hannah Jones singled to the outfield. They were driven in when Harlie Ware ground-rule-doubled over the centerfield fence. This cut the JHS lead to 4-2.

Joaquin was able to add on two more scores during the remainder of the game but held on defensively with help from pitcher Chloe Mason. Mason struck out 8 batters, allowed six hits and walked one batter.
