In the top of the third, the Lady Wolves started to click defensively and offensively. Haidyn Terry delivered a solid inning in the pitching circle ending the Lady Tigers at-bats in the third with just eight pitches and one hit allowed.

After the first game, there was one more timed match to get some more players some varsity minutes. The Lady Tigers would clutch this one out, with the Lady Wolves aiming to make a comeback late. Thanks to some late-game heroics from Wester in the pitch circle, the Tigers secured the 4-3 win.
Both teams face each other again in a few weeks with a Thursday night double header in Rock Springs on April 11th.
