Freshman Lexi Clark (7-6) took the loss, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits over five innings, while Hamilton worked the final two innings in relief.

The Lady Chaps finally broke through in the seventh after being held scoreless through six frames. Julie Muniz drew a leadoff walk and Lexi Clark followed with a single to put two aboard. After a bunt moved both runners into scoring position, Madison Hunter reached on a walk, and a defensive miscue allowed Muniz to score the first run.
