In what was an emphatic comeback victory the Colts gave the Lady Knights their first loss of the year and from the start of the game you could see the competitiveness and drive to win from both teams. In this game the Colts found their grove late and it couldn't have happened in a better fashion they managed to collect 3 hits for doubles Jaylee Ramos started things off driving the ball into center field for a double followed by Gianna Catletti earning a base on balls and then back to back doubles from Dawn Grover driving in Ramos and Catletti to score and then finished off with Nicole Imhoff bringing Grover around the bases.

Dawn Grover drove the middle of the lineup, leading the Colts with two runs batted in and finished off going 2-for-3 with a double.
