Centenary finally got on the board in the top of the fourth as senior SS Catherine Stokes (Natchitoches, La.) drove in sophomore Libby Guidry (Iowa, La.) with a single. Crow had a two-out RBI single in the sixth that scored senior 3B Morgan Dawson (Natchitoches, La.) to make it 4-2 and cut the Ladies' deficit in half.
