The Indians managed just one hit the rest of the way. The Hatters capitalized on a pair of Souderton errors, scoring a single run in the fourth and two more in the fifth. Julie Wambold, Chelsea Edwards and Melissa Spinosa delivered RBIs for the Hatters.

North Penn 11, Central Bucks East 0 (5 innings)

The duo of Steph Kulp and Kellianna Bradstreet combined for a one-hit shutout. They issued only one walk.
