Charnock put the Badgers back up 3-2 in the top of the 6^th inning with a double to center field that brought in pinch runner Brooke Vosloh from 2^nd base with two outs. AUM would put the tying run at 2^nd base with one out in the bottom of the 7^th inning, but a high pop out to right was followed by a hard line drive out to left as SHC held on for the 3-2 victory.

Designated played Baylie Doiron then tied the score at 3-3 with a two-run single to left.
 
CBU put two more runs on the board in the top of the 2^nd inning, but the hit parade for the Badgers continued in the bottom of the frame when a bases-loaded infield error by CBU tied the score at 5-5. Another successful sacrifice squeeze was followed by a run scoring single by Burchell to put the Badgers up 7-5 only two innings into the game. SHC put three more runs on the board in the 3^rd inning as the Badger cushion grew to 10-5 in a frame highlighted by a two-run double off the bat of Randi DeArmitt.
