The lead stayed 1-0 until the 4th inning when the Prairie Wolves erupted for five runs.  Kailey Meyer blasted a grand slam for the big hit of the inning. They scored five more in the top of the 5th inning.  Jade Mendoza hit a 3-run double for the big hit in the 5th inning.
 
Meyer got the complete game shutout to improve to 4-2 on the mound.  She allowed just three hits and struck out six.
