Emma Tinnon led off the game with a single to right field and was moved around by a Bria Wilcutt sacrifice, but would not be able to score. Emily Graves drew the start for Lewis County, and worked around two walks to pitch a scoreless first. The Lady Panthers went down in order in the second, but their defense answered the call in the bottom half helping Graves escape with no runs scored after a double and a single to lead off the inning.

Lewis County would get on the board first in the third when Tinnon singled with one out and crossed the plate on a double to left by Graves. Riverside would go scoreless in the third as an inning ending double play kept the score 1-0 Lewis County.

In the fourth and final inning, Lewis County failed to add to their lead, and Riverside came to their last three outs down a run. In the bottom of the fourth, Riverside got a one-out walk, 3 straight singles, and a triple that, together, pushed four across to put the game away as time expired with a 4-1 final.

Emma Tinnon has 2 hits and a run scored and Emily Graves a double for Lewis County.
