Cloudland bounced back in the top of the second as Reagan Turbyfill reached via error and then moved around the bases before scoring on a wild pitch to trim the NG lead to 3-1.
Neither team was able to get on the board until Turbyfill hit a solo home run in the top of the fourth as Cloudland closed the gap to 3-2. North Greene got a run back in the fourth as Kennedy Malone scored but Cloudland was able to limit the damage with the bases loaded.
In the bottom of the fifth, Jayla Harper hit a one-out triple to get into the scoring position and then scored after Savannah McCoury put the ball in play. That cut the gap to 4-3 going to the sixth.
