Dan St. Claire and Noah Stewart also each drove in a pair of runs, while Stewart and Evan Hodskins each recorded two hits. Stewart and Hodskins both doubled, and Helms had a triple.

A couple of extra-base hits in the fifth put the Lady Raiders in front 4-2 before they capitalized on some errors by the Lady Cats in the next inning.

Savannah Aull had two hits and scored twice. Also collecting two hits were Brittany Booker, Avery Barnett and Abby Payne. Katherine Hibbitt drove in three runs, while Booker added two RBIs and a triple. Cassidy Morris and McKenzie Roberts each doubled.

The E-Gals were led at the plate by Lauren Whitehouse (3-for-3, run), Hallie Wilson (2-for-4, 2 RBIs, double) and Madison Shemwell (2 runs, double).
