After giving up a run in the top of the third, Stillman tied the game in the bottom of the inning. Lauren Haskins beat out a bunt single before advancing to second on a line out to left field. Bailie Seales then drove her home for Stillman's first run of the day.

The Tigers added three more runs in the fifth inning. Senior Katelynn Madison was hit by a pitch to start the inning, followed by a Haskins bunt single that rolled through the hole at short. A wild pitch advanced both runners before Taylor Roland walked to load the bases. Seales then gave Stillman the lead with a sac fly to center and her second RBI of the day. Madison Bubel and Anniston Jones followed with RBI singles. Stillman left the bases loaded. 

Lexi McCray allowed one earned run off five hits and one walk. Jasmine Wade earned her second save of the season, taking over for McCray in the seventh.

Senior outfielder Carolyn Carter reached on an error at short and moved to second when the ball was booted in the outfield. Later with one out, Ivey Moreland singled to put runners at the corners. Chaluncey Denny ran for Moreland and both players scored on a Lauren Haskins double to center. Taylor Roland followed with a RBI double and scored on a Madison Bubel single. 

Boso pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the fifth with the help of Bailie Seales defens at shortstop, first by Seales throwing out a runner at home, and then firing an out to senior Paisley Wilson at first base. 

Blue Mountain scored its lone run in the top of the seventh inning when Sam Whitwell and Jaydn Yarbro singled with one out. A passed ball moved up the runners. Whitwell scored on an infield hit by Skyler Lee off Stillman reliver Faith Byram. The unearned run was charged to Boso, who gave up five hits and a walk.
