Sanchez would mark first scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the first thanks to Missy Ngiraklang who ripped a 2-run double; she finished with 3 RBIs at the plate.

Teammate Dianade Taitingfong added to the Sharks lead in the bottom of the second when she got a hold of the pitch and sent it to center field to bring home Analisa Evangelista from second base with the stand up double.
