The Lions "walked off" in the bottom of the sixth after Kelly got things started with a single. Bailey Burk walked to put two on before the wheels fell off for the Saints. Sarah Pauscher was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Amanda James, who was pinch hitting, was hit by a pitch to score Kelly. McKenna stepped to the plate with bases loaded once again on the day and delivered, getting hit by a pitch to walk off and run rule the Saints.
