Runs will fight back in the middle part of this game grabbing three runs in the third and three runs in the fourth. Meg Bauer had a big two run single while Matt Kovaleski had a big two run single as well. Maize fight back and grab the lead again in the fifth inning getting a big three run bomb off the bat of Gary Kleinschmidt.
