The Warriors also added four extra-base hits on the day including three triples and an inside-the-park home run by Carrera Dillard.

The game was put out of reach early as the Warriors scored four times in the first inning, capped off by a two-run triple from Reels.

After two more runs in the second, the Warriors put the game away in the third with three more runs on Dillard's home run, an RBI triple from Nakawake and an RBI single from Vanessa Perez.
