In the bottom of the sixth, Protz and DiNicola drew walks to set the table for Newhall, who crushed a two-run double to tie the game at 3-3. Bernabel finished off the clutch comeback with a key single to bring home special pinch-runner Emma Pento with the winning run.

Newhall was the winning pitcher, striking out 10 Worcester batters. Newhall kept her team in striking distance by ending the fourth and fifth innings with two strikeouts with runners on second and third on both occasions.

The Wyoma contingent plays Woburn Thursday at Weafer Park.
