Chloe Beland (Southborough, Mass) was then hit by a pitch followed by a Braga double down the left field line to score another run and put runners at second and third.
Montclair State retook the lead in the top of the fifth when Amber Reed hit a double over the center fielder's head to drive in a pair of runs and was later driven in by an error at second to give Montclair a 5-3 lead over the Pride.
