Trailing 1-0, Republic responded with five runs in the third. Willard tied the game again in the bottom half of the inning, but the Lady Tigers scored two more in the fourth and never looked back. A four-run sixth and a seven-run seventh put the game away.
Hailey Johnson was 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBIs, and Amanda Davis was 3-for-5 with a double and three runs batted in. Carlie Campbell and Rachael Michaelis had two hits apiece to contribute to the Lady Tiger offense.
