  • DSU tied the game in the bottom of the third on a two-run single from Bailey Hansen.
  • The Jimmies retook the lead in the fifth after Draper reached on an error by Blue Hawk shortsop Kara Conway to score Lauren Weigel, then pinch-hitter Hope Ransome brought home Quintanilla with a sacrifice fly to center field.
  • DSU once again pulled even with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth, setting the stage for UJ's seventh-inning rally.
