    The Vikings closed the game out with three more runs in the fifth. With two runners aboard, Doherty tripled to score Khayla Santiago and Villa, and a throwing error allowed Doherty to score to finish the game via the eight-run rule.

    Lawrence scored four times in the first on five hits, including Mercer's RBI single, to take a 4-2 lead after one. The Vikings then scored seven times in the second to pull away. After Santiago and Doherty reached to begin the frame, Haller blasted a three-run homer to right for a 7-2 lead. Guerriero added a two-run double, Villa picked up a run-scoring single and Haller finished the scoring with a run-scoring single.
