GBC cut the lead in half with a run in the third and took a 4-2 lead with a three run fourth inning.  Dominican answered back with a five-run sixth inning to for the eventual 7-4 victory.  Martinieri reached on a RBI fielder's choice and Philpot later drew a bases loaded walk.  Piasecki's sacrifice fly ball to center scored Martinieri and a two out two-run double to centerfield by Beck gave the Lady Chargers the last two runs.

Pistilli picked up the win in 3 1/3 innings of relief, striking out five and allowing four hits.  Starter Garrison went 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on two hits and five strikeouts.
