Gonzales reached on an error, and Jewliana Cartagena singled on a high chopper over the shortstop to load the bases. Ytuarte hit a double up the middle, bringing Rodriguez and Gonzales home to give Madison a 3-1 lead.

Jacqueline Espinosa capped the rally with a two-run double to deep left field, bringing in Ytuarte and Zamora for a 6-1 lead.
“I’ve got to give it to my girls; they’re patient,” Friesenhahn said. “They keep their composure in the box. They saw the ball a little better and took care of it.”After drawing a walk, Zamora stole her way to third. She then came home on a wild pitch by Clark's Ava Hetrick.
