Later in the game, Capital got another pair of runs thanks to a two-RBI single by Sweetman who scored Bridges and Kyleigh Kirby.

Capital responded with a single run in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 4-4 thanks to an RBI single by Michelle Brumfield. 

The Tigers plated a run in the fifth and three in the eighth to move ahead 8-4.
