In the bottom of the fourth, SCSU scored on a wild pitch and then added three more with a three-run home run from senior infielder Maggie Fitzgerald (Oak Lawn, Ill.) to take a 6-0 lead. Sophomore outfielder Bree Beck (Lakeville, Minn.) extended the lead to 7-0 after she hit an RBI-single in the fifth inning.
Sophomore catcher/infielder Bethany Weiss (Forest Lake, Minn.) triggered the run rule when she hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth to make the game 9-0.
