Glenwood gained momentum in the 4th scoring 3-runs benefited by a Knight error and 3 hits. They tied the game in the top of the 6th with a pair of unearned runs.

The Knights added three more runs when Melinda Schaefer reached on an error, Kenzie Schon singled to score a run, Kenadee Loew doubled, driving in a run and Kaylie Diercksen singled to score the final run. Kaci Peter led off the 2nd inning with a single, stole 2nd base and scored on a ground ball by Melinda Schaefer.

A sac fly drove in the third run of the inning. In the 5th inning, the Rams got back-to-back base hits, then the Knights made a pair of errors to allow 2-runs score to tie the game.

Jordan Schwabe made an incredible catch on a foul ball bunt attempt, diving into the right handed batters box to make the catch for the 2nd out. A Glenwood single put runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Wilckes was up again for the Rams and hit a fly ball up the middle that looked like it would drop in behind 2nd base, but Melinda Schaefer made a great running catch, reaching out as far as she could for the game ending out.
