ETBU (39-7) took advantage of a shaky start by LC starter McCaslin Carson (15-4) to push across one run in the bottom of the first inning. ETBU's run came via a Meghan Fisher RBI single. The single scored Adrienne Meier, who had reached on a fielder's choice, but moved to second on a wild pitch. After that, Carson settled down and didn't allow another Lady Tiger run to score.
In the meantime, ETBU pitcher Ayrika Henderson kept LC (37-8) in check. In the sixth and seventh, LC threatened against Hendeson, but she buckled down and didn't allow a run. In the sixth, Henderson wiggled out of a bases loaded, no out, jam. She was aided by a centerfield-to-catcher double play in which Jodi Montagnino was thrown out at the plate trying to score on an Ashleigh Clement fly ball. In the seventh, LC got a runner to third with one out, but couldn't score her as Henderson enticed a foul flyout and a strikeout to end the game.
