Then with Manes on third base as she would advance due to the error Tyler Krystek (1-2, 2 RBI) came up and promptly drove her in to make it 6-0.
The Tigers would finally get on the board in the top of the sixth inning on an error by the Patriots allowing Shaunessy Cardwell to score which made it 6-1. Morse would go on to add another pair of runs in the top of the seventh inning to cut the deficit in half but that would be the closest they would get as Allyson Moody finished things out to end the game and procure victory.
