Leading 3-1 in the top of the third inning, the Falcons went to work again. With two outs, and runners on first and second, Sarah Depp hit a ball into right field that got down for a hit, which loaded the bases.

Nicole Paolucci followed Hoover with an RBI single. Two batters later, Shelby Stephens reached on error by the third baseman, Racquel Manzo, scoring Paolucci and capping the five run inning.

Felician scored two runs in the third inning and then made it a two run game with a three run fourth inning. An RBI double by Jackie Duenas, a sacrifice fly by Montoya and an RBI single by Jaimie Parisi cut the Golden Falcons deficit.
