With the mercy rule potentially in play, the Rebelettes scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to extend the contest as Ava Yates scored off of an error on a ball hit by Kaylee Morris and Mollye Casey and Emma Owens both crossed home plate following an error on a ball hit by Alyssa Sherrill to cut the lead down to 12-4.
The Rebelettes weren’t able to put up any runs in the last two innings while the Lady Wildcats scored one more time in the top of the seventh to put the final deficit at nine.
