  • Amherst scored its lone run in the sixth as Lulu Leppard deposited a triple to center field and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Annie Katuska.
  • The Continentals added three runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 7-1 advantage. Hadley Rogers '26 drove in Mayer with a single to left field, and Dyche hammered a two-run double to right field, scoring Rogers and Guerra.
  • Everett stranded two runners on base during a scoreless top of the seventh to close out the win.

Notes
