Kasey Mullen finished off the top half of the first with an inside the park home run.

Christa Sparks took the mound for the Gold in the bottom half of the inning only to allow one base runner when Jade Bowan hit a single up the middle. Sparks only faced four batters before retiring the After Shock.

Pitcher Chyan Houston found a rhythm in the top of the second allowing only one base runner while striking out two Gold team members. Jani Hawkley was the only Central High Gold player to reach base with a single.

Sparks returned to the mound in the bottom of the second and dominated the After Shock. She allowed one base runner in Cali Pennypacker before striking out the other three batters she faced.
