Regina Milburn got things started for the Lions in the bottom of the fifth inning with a single. With one out, Stephany Courtney singled to right advancing Milburn to second base. Milburn was forced out at third base when Corinne Garuffe hit into a fielder's choice, but Madison Bear delivered a game-tying double to left center that scored Courtney and Garuffe and knotted the score at 2-2.

Cembrale capped the rally by doubling down the rightfield line to score Bear and put Albright ahead for the first time in the game at 3-2.
