LA Valley would add one run at the top of the fourth from an error but the Gades secured the victory and ended the game by scoring another 10 runs at the bottom of the fourth. The big inning was driven by singles by Price, Alyssa Miller, Kristen Burgeis, Smith and Jayden Beam a triple by Shelby Buchanan, a sacrafice fly by Cuellar, a groundout by Julie Silva and a double by Price.
