Emmanuel scored its second run in the fourth but Albertus again answered with a run of its own as Rebecca Slivinsky (Plainville, Conn.) recorded a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the frame to tie the game.

Albertus took a 5-4 lead after five innings thanks to Melissa Manning's (Milford, Conn.) third home run of the season before Emmanuel tallied its six-run frame to take a 10-5 advantage.

The Falcon loss dropped starting pitcher Danielle Thuerling's (Wallingford, Conn.) record on the year to 9-13 as she threw seven innings and allowed five earned runs and 12 hits.
