Setters would explode for three runs in the fifth, taking advantage
of a pair of Greyhounds error to take a 4-2 lead.
Assumption responded in their half of the fifth with a

pinch runner Tiffany Ott (Broad Channel, NY/Archbishop Molloy) (Broad Channel, NY/Archbishop
Molloy) would put Pace up by one, scoring on a sixth
inning wild pitch. Pace would tack on a pair of insurance runs in
the seventh as the Setters Christina Rescigno (Elmsford, NY/Good Counsel Academy) (Elmsford,
NY/Good Counsel Academy) and Alicia Parlon (Norton, MA/Norton)
(Norton, MA/Norton) kept the Greyhounds as bay to complete
the sweep.
Rescigno (3-3) tossed six innings, allowing four runs on 10
