WT wasn't done yet as Kourtney Coveney blasted a solo shot to right field followed later in the inning by an Allie Smith sac fly to center to make it 8-0.
 
Eastern got on the board in the top of the third inning with a bloop double down the right field line for their first hit of the game to leadoff the frame followed by a grounder to the circle and an infield single to make it 8-1, WT added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth inning as Shayne Starkey tripled to the right center field gap with two outs and the bases loaded to score three more and run the lead to 11-1.
 
The Lady Buffs added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth inning as Alyx Cordell crushed a two-run shot to left center with one out followed by a Hardin single thru the left side that turned into a stolen base and a pair of throwing errors to make it 14-1.
