Kaley Hansen led the second inning off with a single through the right side, stole second, and came home on an rbi double down the left field line by Lyndie Routh. Missouri S&T answered back with eight runs over the next three innings, as the Bearcats trailed 8-1 heading into the fifth. The Bearcats used an rbi single by Graves in the fifth, an rbi double by Kelcee Welch in the sixth, and an rbi walk by Rachel Wilson in the seventh to add three more runs, but SBU would fall 8-4.
