Aly Cappaert added the tying run with an RBI single and Lexi Slater added another single to make the score 2-1. Later in the inning, Kelsey McFarland hit her third grand slam of the season, giving the Cyclones a 6-1 lead.
In the top of the fourth, Mohrfeld hit a two-run RBI single to cut the deficit to 6-3.
