Kylie Pittman went 3-4  with a run scored, two RBIs and came a home run away from hitting for the cycle. Also getting 2 hit games were Nicole Nuetzman, Makayla Paulson, and Ellie Ready. Nicole Nuetzman, Makayla Paulson, and Ellie Ready also had two-hit games.

In the 7th Hailie Tegmeier led off with a double. After a flyout, Tegmeier scored on a ground-ball error. Tess Glenzinski forced another fly out and ended the game on a strikeout of Paulson, who represented the tying run.

BA left 10 runners on base and WEM eight.
