Lynn threatened in the fourth as Darlin singled to center field to put runners on first and second with one out. The Fighting Knights were unable to post any runs as Vicky Naginsky and Bianca Savulak were retired in order.

Then in the sixth inning, Lauren Garceau started things off with a single and advanced to second on a Casey Vassallo single up the middle. Garceau eventually crossed the plate as the lone Knights' run.

In the bottom of the seventh, Lynn loaded the bases with two outs but was unable to collect a key hit in the frame. The Blue & White stranded 11 to Flagler's six.

The Knights matched Flagler in the hits column with six. In addition to Brey's two hits, Vassallo added two, Garceau had one and Darlin posted the other Lynn base hit.
