They would plate another on a fielding error by Tayler Misfeldt with a runner on third with two out. Misfeldt would get out the inning allowing two runs, one earned on three hits.
In the circle for the Titans was Sydney Golden, who held the Highlanders scoreless until the top of the fourth inning, when Jenna Curtan doubled to right center with two out and came around to score on a Chelsey Holley single and a Titan throwing error.
