St. Elizabeth used a decisive second inning and steady pitching from Kami DeGaetani to pull away from Bay Path, 9–1, on March 6, 2026 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Bay Path struck first in the top of the opening inning. Caroline Austin came around to score and Madison Sunderland drove in the game's first run with a single up the middle for a 1–0 lead.
