After three innings of scoreless play, Siera Phillips (Mesa, AZ/Red Mountain High School) led the inning off with a single to center field. #Bailee Freeleand entered as a pinch runner. Two batters later, Sherwin deposited a 1-0 pitch into right center field for an RBI double scoring Freeland from first base.

The Red Storm added another run in the fifth inning when Jaelle Judkins (Saint George, UT/Dixie High School) reached on a one-out infield single.The speedy Judkins followed by stealing second and third base.

Kylee Bufton (Spanish Fork, UT/Spanish Fork High School) then hit a 2-2 pitch to deep right field for an RBI sacrifice fly that would be the eventual game winner.

Duncan cruised through six and one third innings before allowing a home run to center field. DSU center fielder Courtney Hine (San Dimas, CA/San Dimas High School) had it tracked down and in her glove but as she hit the portable fence the ball popped out and fell to the ground. Duncan then induced a groundout and a strikeout to pickup the win.

Jaelle Judkins (Saint George, UT/Dixie High School) had three hits and Courtney Hine (San Dimas, CA/San Dimas High School) hit an RBI triple in the third inning, but two Red Storm miscues allowed the Bronchos to score two unearned runs and steal the 2-1 win from DSU.
