Taylor Thomas went 3-up-3-down in the bottom of the second inning to put the Warriors back on offense.  

Thalia Romero took a four-pitch walk, and made her way around the bases to third, before the Royals got the third out. 

Thomas kept the Royals at bay, adding a backwards K for out number three. Back-to-back quick innings kept it a one-run ball game. Alexi Watkins led off the top of the fifth inning by being struck by a pitch. Gracie Lopez followed with a single to the shortstop, putting two on. A double steal put runners in scoring position, but the Royals got the third out just in time.
