The Blazers would tally on three more runs thanks to back to back RBI's from Natalie Parker and Anna Caime to put the game out of reach for the Scots. Kennedy Carruth was once again spectacular in the circle for the Blazers, giving up just one run on two hits and five strikeouts to help secure a 5-1 victory.
