Mont Alto made it 6-1 when Destiny Hall (McConnellsburg, Pa. / McConnellsburg) connected on an RBI single that plated home Chelsea Cover (Waynesboro, Pa. / Waynesboro Area) in the bottom of the third. However, DuBois scored four runs in the top of the fifth inning for the commanding 10-1 lead. The final run of the season was scored by Michia Herman (Orbisonia, Pa. / Southern Huntingdon) who utilized her speed on the basepaths to score on a Sas pop out.
