The Clippers answered back with three runs in the bottom stanza to tie the score at 3-all and added two runs in the fifth to take a 5-3 edge. DC re-tied the score at 5-5 in the top of the sixth as Plante delivered a two run single up-the-middle.
The game remained tied until the ninth inning when the Lady Chargers as Martinez hit a two out single to right center field to score Berzak, who was placed on second to start the inninng due to the international tie-breaker rule. Concordia answered back with a run in their half of the ninth to make the score 6-6.
