In the bottom of the inning Kelcy Tate led off with a single. Boren and Walker drew back-to-back walks, and Danna Wells singled to drive in two runs. Sara Buckner followed with a two-RBI single. Three walks and a double by Walker put Boyd out in front 9-0 before Community got out of the inning.

In the top of the fifth, Wanamaker reached on a two out error. Tate drove in the run with a triple to put Boyd on top 2-0 heading into the bottom of the inning.
