MGS came back in the bottom of the first with Kimberly (MGS #19) bunting, then scoring home on errors by STC to bring the score to 4–1.

MGS allowed STC to extend their lead to 5–1 in the top of third, as Dalilah (STC #39) scored on a wild pitch after getting on base on errors by Natalie (MGS #21). STC picked up an easy three up, three down on MGS in the bottom of the third.

STC captain, Divya Navaindran (STC #15), said, “It was a good game. Our team work was good. We were there for each other and didn’t give up till the end. Even when one of our players were down, we were there to help her get back up.”

Divya added, “We hope we can do our best, whether we lose or win. We just want to have fun and do our best for our coach and school, like our B Division seniors.”

Rei Wong (STC #14) said, “I think I did better than expected. Even though I hit a home run, I think I can still be better.”
