The Night Mares would go up 5-0 by the top of the second, and proceed to go scoreless the next four frames. In the seventh, they would tack on three more runs on an Ava Carroll RBI double and then a two-run homer from Kavanagh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Riley Stiles (Lake Forest) pitched five-straight scoreless and hitless innings in her relief appearance before the seventh.
