Beddingfield got one run back in the top of the sixth then stranded two Patriots in scoring position in the bottom of the inning.

In the seventh, the Bruins used two walks, two singles, a double and two PG errors to push across five runs and take their first lead at 6-4.

With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Sam Welch hit a solo home run (her fourth of the year) to make the Providence Grove deficit 6-5. Then with two outs, Carson Williams picked up her first hit of the night and was replaced on the base paths by Kaylee Bowman. Makenna Sibbett made her first appearance at the plate and delivered a pinch-hit single. When Sibbett's hit wasn't fielded cleanly in the outfield, Bowman scored to tie the game and Sibbett moved to second base. Leadoff batter Gabri Hessenthaler then delivered her third hit of the night and Patriots Coach Tim Brown showed no hesitation in sending Sibbett home. The sophomore slid across the plate as the throw came in high and Providence Grove improved to 22-0 and are moving on to round three for the second time in school history.
