Julie Gola and Kristy Rubino combined to outduel Mount Olive's Kristen Abels and deny the Marauders a chance to clinch a tie for the IHC Hills title.

Baserunning mistakes cost the Red Hawks two chances to win the game earlier. Katrina Serrano, who played spectacularly at first base, led off the 16th with a single, and Merrill, just off the bus from a winning pitching performance in the freshman game, pinch ran. Michelle Bertuglia sacrificed her to second and Gola moved her to third with a grounder. Breitenbach then sent an Abels delivery up the middle for the victory.
