FDU (2-4) held Maryville (9-9) to just single runs in the fourth and the fifth innings before the Fighting Scots tacked on six in the bottom of the sixth to end the game.

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Kaitlin Woodruff singled through the left side, stole second and scored the first run of the game on a single down the left field line by Kaliyah Hensic. Amaya Goodloe scored Maryville's second run in the fifth on a wild pitch after she walked and stole both second and third base.
