Tied 3-3 in the sixth, Deardorff singled and moved to third after a grounder to second and a fielder's choice. Koesters then laced an RBI single to put TU ahead 4-3.

In the seventh, things fell apart for starter Isabella St. Peter. A walk, pitcher's fielding error, and a hit batter loaded the bases. With one out, a single sent two runners home and gave Walsh the victory.
