Bussey would score off an interference, then Dail stole second moments before advancing to third on the interference. Haley Rosenthal (Mahtomedi, Minn./Mahtomedi HS) would bring in Dail from a sacrifice fly, they would head into the bottom of the six down 2-3.

In the seventh, Isabella Jack (St. Paul, Minn./Highland Park HS) would pinch hit and get on a base with a single, again Bolin and Breuer singled, having the bases loaded. After two outs, including one of the runners out at home plate, two errors by the Wildcats allowed the Saints to get two runs, taking a 4-3 advantage.

The Wildcats would tie the game up with a run to bring the game to extra innings. The Saints would capitalize when Dail doubled bringing the placed runner at second to home plate and then Payton Lang (Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville South HS) singled and Dail went to third. Dail would steal home and bring in another run before two more Saints got out, having a two-run lead heading into the final at bat for the Wildcats.
