The BPC defense did a great job in the fifth to keep the Skyhawks from scoring as the visitors notched three hits. Brewton-Parker moved to a 3-1 lead with an RBI double from Lucas to score Bradshaw as she reached on a double of her own.
In the sixth, Point pulled within a run by loading the bases and earning an RBI walk for a 3-2 score. Brewton-Parker made swift work of the visitors in the seventh to hold on to the one-run lead for the win.
