Livingston jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second before SJV responded with a five-run 3rd to take a 5-3 lead. Deja Robinson led off the 4th with a homer and Diianni’s three-run shot to left-center gave Livingston a 7-5 edge. Haley Ahr would close the gap to 8-7 with a solo shot in the 6th, but Livingston added an insurance run in the 7th and Caitlin Mullen got the final two outs to secure the upset.
