In the bottom of the second the Jacks doubled their lead off a solo homerun from Malia Jones to left field, her tenth blast of the season, 2-0. The Islanders scratched across a run in the top of the third to cut the deficit in half, 2-1. After a scoreless inning and a half, SFA got another run on the board with a double steal by Ellie Vance and Kylie Bishop, 3-1. TAMU-CC would not go down without a fight as they scored another run in the top of the sixth to make it a one-run game, 3-2. Kara Pride began the hit parade in the bottom of the sixth with a single through the right side. After she stole second base, Jamie Varga hit an RBI single up the middle to bring Pride home, 4-2. Ellie Vance took advantage of a massive defensive shift by the Islanders and dropped a triple into right center to score Varga, 5-2. Crimson Bryant slammed the door on the Islanders in the top of the seventh as she picked up her tenth strikeout to end the game.
