With the score tied at 3 she led off the bottom of the 7th with a single and moved to 2nd on Rachaels Sac Bunt. The Lions chose to walk Alyssa Hernandez and Aaliyah Cordova loaded the bases on a Hit By Pitch. On a 3-2 count with two outs Kaelyn Rodriguez drew a walk to plate Aniah with the winning run.
