Chastain opened the bottom of the fourth inning with a walk. After stealing second, Chastain scored on a single up the middle by Olivia McNabb, tying the score 1-1. The second and final comeback occurred in the sixth inning.

The opponents scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning to move ahead 3-1. In the bottom of the sixth inning, with Tatum Massengale and McNabb on base after walks, Brooke Freeman came to the plate and hit a home run to push the team 4-3.
