The Madang girls were up by five points after their first turn at bat, thanks to some power batting from Eunice Fong and Angelica Takaili.
This forced the Pirates coach to make a change bringing on Vince Tirupia to take over the pitching duties from Lina William.
Pirates hit back in the same inning with William making up in a big way hitting the first home run for the team, bringing the score to 5-1 after the completion of the first inning.
