Junior Kevi Oatway (East Hartford, Conn.) singled and junior Rachel Byrd (Hampstead, N.H.) followed with a walk to load the bases. Freshman Michaela Colleran (East Bridgewater, Mass.) followed with an RBI single to score Lynch and junior Jessica Saluti (Braintree, Mass.) grounded out which scored Oatway.

Wentworth cut the lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the fifth as sophomore Hayley Rutkey (Burnt Hills, N.Y.) led off with a double and went to third on a sacrifice bunt from sophomore Emily Winter (Stratford, Conn.). Rutkey scored when freshman Haley Hohlmaier (Johnston, R.I.) bunted her in.

The Colonels scored three times in the top of seventh with all three runs coming on home runs. Bruno led off with a shot to left center and Oatway hit a two-run home run to center which also scored freshman Molly Horn (Buzzards Bay, Mass.). The Leopards mounted a comeback in the bottom of the inning as sophomore Libby White (Pittsfield, Mass.) led off with a single and went to third on a double by Rutkey. With one out Hohlmaier grounded out to score White and freshman Rebecca Wehrle (South Amboy, N.J.) singled to score Rutkey and advanced to second on an error. After an infield single from junior Vanessa Weymouth (Fremont, N.H.) moved Wehrle to third, junior Rachel Willcutt (Tilton, N.H.) singled to score Wehrle. A groundout would end the comeback bid.
