Two more home runs in the bottom of the third put the Rainbow Wahine up 11-0. Karyn Wright came on to pitch in the third and got the final two outs before pitching a scoreless fourth inning.
 
Alex Flores singled in the top of the second and Rayleen Pallan singled in the top of the third for the Vikings' only two hits off Hawai'i starter Kanani Aina Cabrales. Cabrales threw the complete game shutout allowing two hits and striking out four.
 
Cabrales improved to 3-2 on the season while Crawford fell to 3-2.
