In the next couple innings the Lakers continued to add to the scoreboard, all the while keeping the Blue off of it. Porreca earned an RBI in the second, ushering in Trovato who was on second. The next inning, Oswego got some help from Wellesley as they walked in a run and then allowed another run to score on an error by the pitcher. Oswego then earned its eighth run of the day as Vertuccio got walked in the second, sending Melanie Kauser home.

Wellesley put up a fight though, scoring six of their own in the bottom of the fourth. Alexandria Connelly then came in to finish out the game not allowing another run.
