Horn had three hits in the game, including two doubles and two runs scored while Nell Wilson (Cincinnati, OH/Ross) also had three hits, including two doubles. The Mount turned two double plays in the game.
The Engineers jumped out to a 6-4 lead after three innings in the nightcap, and added at least one run in each of the last three innings they batted to post the game two win. Kimberly McElhinny (Crestwood, KY/Oldham County), who started the game and was tagged for the loss, had two hits while Horn clouted a double and home run, driving in two runs. Tanya Sefton (Vevay, IN/Switzerland County) scored two runs for the Mount. The Lions stranded nine runners on base.
