The production continued as Janessa Weston scored on an error. Arilyn Allred then singled to bring in Shyanne Jensen as the scoring continued for Emery.  Taeleigh Price singled past the shortstop and Johnson would cross the plate on an error, putting the Spartans up 15-0 and ultimately ending the game after four innings.
