After three outs for the Scots in the top of the first the Polar Bears came out swinging early on Monday morning notching five runs with five RBI's in the first two innings. 

Alma found some life in the top of the third when lead off hitter, senior Kassidi Adams (Montrose, Mich./Montrose) singled to third base. Junior Jade Garcia (Kentwood, Mich./East Kentwood) followed up with a strong at bat for a walk to put the runners on first and second.

With one out on the board sophomore Mary Brooks (Portland, Mich./Portland) reached first on a fielder's choice to advance Adams in for their first and only run of the game. One more out closed the deal for the Scots in the top of the third. 

Ohio Northern would be unable to answer in the bottom of the third but managed to score three runs in the bottom of the fourth and another run in the bottom of the sixth to seal the deal and walk away with the 9-1 win.
