The Raiderettes had led the whole game leading up to the seventh and had outhit their hosts 7-to-4 on the evening. A lot of that domination was due to Haven Hornaday who tore it up, going 4-for-4 at the dish with a run and two RBI. She was the only Raiderette with multiple hits. Lily Smith worked the whole way from the circle and fanned six on 89 pitches.
