In the fourth, Barnes drew a leadoff walk.  Pinch runner Halle Vardon (Algoma, Wis./Algoma) stole second and moved to third on a groundout.  Rachael Wakefield (River Falls, Wis./River Falls) picked up an RBI with a sac fly to right for a 5-0 advantage.
 
A St. Lawrence error in the fifth opened the door for a big inning.  Cohen singled to put runners on the corners. Luedtke drove in a run on a fielder's choice.  Madi Greenaberg (Downers Grove, Ill./North) singled to load the bases and Barnes plated two with a double for the 8-0 lead.
