Briana Clark followed with a triple to right, and scored a few batters later on a sacrifice bunt by Krysta Bradford to bring the score to 4-0 UIndy.

DeMotte would score her second run of the game in the top of fifth, after reaching on a single up the middle. Clark brought her home with her own single up the middle.

The Greyhounds added three more runs in the top of the sixth to close out the win, with Cori Eckerle opening the frame with a single to right field. Jessica Vleck came in to pinch run for Eckerle, with her advancing to third on a double to leftfield by Rummel.
