Kylie Orr then doubled in two runs to make it 7-4.

Jackie Vargas threw five strong innings in relief of Jordan Adams. Adams gave up four runs in two innings, but only one was earned. Vargas gave up an unearned run while striking out three to get the win.

"We made some good adjustments today offensively," Wagner said. "The girls did a good job hitting with runners in scoring position."
