The Panthers cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the third, but Dexter would take control in the fifth. After a Jenna Wagenschutz walk, Sutton blasted a homerun to make it 5-2. Three straight doubles by Brenna Cassidy, Paige Sayler and Lillie Robeson pushed the lead to five and a Hannah Marsik RBI single made it 8-2 in the fifth and that would be the final.
