Susan Duncan followed with a double to center field to bring in Maggie Duncan and Wilson. Later in the inning, Shreck singled to right field to score Hunter Hart, who reached on an infield single. Emily Smith capped off the four-run inning with an infield single to bring in Bri Smith put the Nittany Lions ahead 5-0.
