Maddy Tucker followed with a double, and she and Crocker both scored on passed balls.

The Warriors scored three times in the bottom of the first, and then after a scoreless second inning, Oak Harbor added six more runs in the third. Dean and Abigale Fierro walked, then they scored on singles by Wilson and LeGendre. Crocker and Tucker walked, the second forcing in a run. Erbe plated a run on a groundout, an error scored Crocker and Tucker stole home.

Oak Harbor took a 17-3 lead with four runs in the fourth inning. Scott walked and scored when LeGendre reached on an error. Crocker tripled in one run, and walks to Tucker and Scheer loaded the bases. Walks to Dean and Rinka Tsutsumi forced in two runs.
