In the third, the Lady Bucks scored once again, this time on a homerun from Maddie Cuomo who launched a shot to the fence in left to make it 6-3.

One inning later, Paupack would pad its lead when Alicia Brindle led off with a single, stole second, and was brought home on an RBI single from Katie Weist.
