Brooklyn Beardshear (Tucson, AZ/Sahuaro) pitched the final inning of the game, striking out one and allowing two hits.

The Red Storm offense pounded out 15 hits in the opener and scored 14 runs to cruise to the victory. DSU scored four runs in the first, seven in the second, two in the third and one in the fourth inning.
