After a Kylie Johnson (Iola, WI/Iola-Scandinavia) walk, Vanderford doubled to right-center, advancing Johnson to third in the the bottom of the third. Johnson scored in the next at-bat after Kirsten Perkinson (Dunlap, IL/Dunlap) singled through the left side. Paige Allen (South Elgin, IL/South Elgin) pinch hit in the next at-bat, scoring Vanderford with a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 8-6.
