Mia Filault hit her first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fifth inning.
Kayleigh Jaros collected her 13th and 14th hits of the season – both doubles – and drove in a run in an eight-hit Mountie attack.
Second-seeded Mount Greylock broke the game open in the sixth inning, when Kami Sweet scored on a wild pitch and Abbey Whitley and Jaros each drove in a run to push the lead to 7-1.
Jenna Newell doubled and scored a run for the visiting Crusaders in a three-run seventh-inning rally that ended when Sweet got a swinging third strike to strand a runner on first.
Sweet finished the day with nine strikeouts and three walks while allowing three earned runs.
She also helped her cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate and scoring a pair of runs.
Mount Greylock (15-7) will be home on Tuesday in the Sweet 16 against No. 15 Frontier (7-14), a 15-7 winner over Monson on Sunday.
