Raigan Kramer, Bri Ellis and Courtney Day each drew a one-out walk before Kailey Wyckoff struck out swinging and Ella McDowell walked to score Kramer and make it 4-1. Brianna Lopez got Atalyia Rijo to foul out to end the inning.

Ellis drew a two-out walk to load the bases in the second, Day followed with a two-RBI single before Ellis scored on a single by Wyckoff to tie it at 4-4.
