The Lady Cyclones added to their lead with three runs in the bottom of the third and three more in the bottom of the fourth.
In the third inning, Ember Jensen singled and Pritchard reached on an error allowing Jensen to come home. Pritchard, who advanced to second on the error, scored when first baseman Kallista DePrimo tore into a pitch for a double to chase home Pritchard.
DePrimo scampered home on a Kenidy Harris double making it 4-0 Elizabethton.
Emma O’Quinn singled to start the bottom of the fourth inning and a bobble on a Jensen ground ball allowed O’Quinn to race to third with Jensen safe at first base.
