The Bearcats would not be phased and hit a double to left field at the top of the sixth. They quickly took advantage of that and single to right field advancing their runner to third. The Tigers would leave two stranded on bases though as the Bearcats misplayed some of their running and end the inning. Sam McKee started the bottom of the sixth with a homer to left center field. Bowling and Oldham followed that soon with a single each. Carter singled to right center field and send Oldham home. Hurst would single down center field sending Bowling home and Carter to third.

Lexi Miller continued her dominant performance by sending Hurst home with a two-run home run to begin the scoring. Payton Blades and Riley Whitney got out just before Madison Davis sent the ball flying over the left fence for a single home run. The inning ended on the next pitch with the Lady Tigers up 3-0.
 
Campbellsville's defense was stout against Brescia, not letting them reach first base before the end of the inning. The Lady Tigers would try to put pressure on at the bottom of the second with Ryleigh Oldham singling to short stop then advancing to second after Bailey Richardson walked. Carter, Hurst, and Miller all were out before any results would be put on the scoreboard.
 
During the top of the third, the Bearcats got some offense going as they had their first hitter walk just before a home run was sent over the back center fence. The Lady Tigers ended their scoring quickly though before heading into the bottom of the third. Blades would double to center field, just before Davis singled down the right field line sending Blades over home plate. Two dropped ball errors after hard hits from Sam Mckee and Oldham got the bases loaded for Bailey Richardson to hit a grand slam after another dropped ball over the fence making the score 8-2. Carter would walk and then advance to second off a wild pitch before Hurst sent a laser single straight down center field to get Carter home. Miller tripled soon after to right field sending Hurst home making the score 10-2. Riley Whitney sent one down center field to get Miller home. The bases were soon loaded again by Whitney, Blades, and Davis before McKee hit a pop-up single to first base which was dropped and Whitney capitalized, making the score 12-2 with one out still in the inning. Brescia changed pitchers after this run but it would not help as Oldham snagged a two RBI double to left center field. Immediately after, Richardson grounded out to the left of second base collecting two RBIs in the process. Carter grounded one to second getting Richardson out on fielder's choice just before Hurst grounded to short stop ending the inning 16-2.
 
Brescia started the fourth with a two-run home run on two outs. The inning wouldn't continue very long as they got their last strike out swinging. Miller singled up the middle to start the bottom of the fourth and was followed by a Kaeleigh Tuck walk. Taylor Windell sent a ground ball to short stop and Miller was out. Madison Gregory walked to first, loading the bases. San McKee would reach first on a fielder's choice and Tuck failed to score on her way to home base. Paityn Pruitt grounded out to first base to end the inning with a score of 16-4.
 
Brescia would try to not go out without a bang getting runners on second and third after the first hitter struck out swinging. The second out was hit towards left field and caught. Then, the bases were loaded after a Brescia walk. The Bearcats smacked a two-run single and leave a runner on third to try and close the gap on two outs. Williams ended their offense striking out the last hitter ending the game due to run rule, 16-6.
 
Lexi Miller stood out on the day for the Lady Tigers with two home runs including a grand slam, a triple, five runs, and seven RBI's. Bailey Richardson's performance was noteworthy as well with six RBI's in two at bats. The Lady Tigers played great defense as they did not give Brescia very many opportunities to score in both games.
