CBU retook the lead when they plated a pair in the sixth inning. Williams got a run back in the home half of the sixth when Karsen Overshine hit a RBI single to centerfield, but that was all.
Angel Gillette got the start and pitched 5.1 innings. She allowed three runs off six hits, walked three and struck out seven. Morgan Garner pitched 1.2 innings of relief and allowed one hit while striking out one.

The Lady Eagles added to the lead with a run in the sixth when Kaylee Wolfe reached on an error that allowed Naomi Crowley to score. CBU tied the game in the seventh inning with a two-run homerun. Both teams scored a run in the eighth inning with Rylee Boshell getting the RBI groundout for Williams. CBU plated three runs in the ninth to take an 8-5 lead. The Lady Eagles plated a run in the bottom of the ninth when Shelby Jones scored on a wild pitch. Overshine was then walked and Kaydra Cole was hit by a pitch to bring the winning run to the plate for Williams.
