Millsaps answered with a two-run fifth to take a 2-1 lead. The Lady Lions answered tying the score in the home half of the fifth as LEAH DELLA TORRE drove home RALEY WHITE with an RBI-single.

In the ninth Millsaps plated a pair of runs on two hits as PC was unable to answer. MEGAN DAY paced PC's offense going 3-5 while Drevlow picked up the hard-luck loss on the mound going the distance.
