The Hurricanes answered back with one run in the fourth inning but the Knights found some offense in the fifth inning. The scoring started with a double steal that allowed Caroline Albritton to score. RBI singles by Avery and Mel Bullock closed the gap to 9-5 and a bases clearing triple by Alexis Cosgrove got the Knights within a run of the Hurricanes.
