The Habaneros cut the deficit to 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams were held scoreless in the third inning.<\/p>\n<p>La Crosse added to their lead in the fourth, scoring five runs to extend the advantage to 10-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Habaneros responded in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n<p>Katy Olive (Miami University, Ohio) delivered an RBI single to bring in a run, and Mankato added another to trim the deficit to 10-3.<\/p>\n<p>The sixth inning proved to be the turning point, as the Habaneros mounted a comeback effort with six runs.<\/p>\n<p>Ava McKee (Bowling Green State University) led off with a base hit, and Morgan Koestecka (Wisconsin\u2013Green Bay) capitalized on a bases-loaded opportunity with an RBI single. Olive later drew a walk with the bases loaded, forcing in another run.<\/p>\n<p>Mankato pulled within one, making it a 10-9 game, but the rally fell just short.
