In the second inning, the Bulldogs tacked another run onto their lead. By the top of the fourth inning, the Bulldogs extended their lead to 4-0. The Wildcats began to creep back into the game in the bottom of the fourth, contributing two runs of their own to the score. Westfield then displayed full control of the game, holding Centreville to two runs while scoring four runs in the fifth inning and eight in the sixth inning.
