The Fighting Tigers then took the nightcap when in the fourth inning a rash of injuries forced the Broncos to forfeit the contest. The contest final score is officially designated a 7-0 victory for Cobleskill with all individual statistics counting on player totals.

Rightfielder Danielle Lichwick was 2-for-4 on the day with four RBI whiled senior third baseman Kayla Jones, Cobleskill, NY, Cobleskill-Richmondville High School, also had a big afternoon at the plate before the action was called going 2-for-4 with an RBI.
