 How They Scored


 
  • After the Gators went down in order in the top of the fourth, the Otters got all they needed in the bottom half of the frame. Abby Alcayaga led off with a double, then scored two batters later on Ganaden's single up the middle. Ganaden moved all the way to third on a throwing error and scored on Ellie Escalante's pinch hit single back up the middle.

 How They Scored


 
  • The Gators got a late lead in the sixth and held on. Kai DeLeon and Marley Gonzales both reached on errors and moved up to second and third base thanks to Teya Vincent's sacrifice bunt. Nilson hit a two-out chopper to second but beat the throw to first, which allowed DeLeon and Gonzales to score.
