After Graves scored once in the top of the fourth, Caldwell answered in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by Lewis to put the Lady Tigers up 6-3.
Caldwell then sent 10 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning. Seven of them scored to end the game early on the 10-run mercy rule.
