From that point on though, the Canadians would not look back scoring a total of 11 runs on 15 hits. Denso put three runs on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning, but as winning pitcher Katie Rosentreter settled into the game the Denso team could only push across one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend the game into the sixth.
