In the opener, the Wildcats erupted for 11 runs on 16 hits, and a trio of two-run homeruns.  Early in the contest, the Wildcats pieced together three runs on a groundout by Julia Reuble, a two run single by Taylor Ferleman, and a sacrifice fly by Kayla Ellis, to take a 3-1 lead after three.

The Wildcats added to their lead in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly by McDaniels that scored Morris, followed by a run scoring ground out by Reuble.
