Phoebe Schultz then reached on an error that ultimately scored a run. Carly Eldredge singled to the right side for an RBI and gave Dixie the 2-1 lead. 

In the bottom of the sixth, the Aggies had two runners on base and then hit a triple to right center for two RBIs and to take back the lead with a 3-2 score going into the seventh. DSU wasn't able to answer in the seventh and the Aggies claimed the win.

In the bottom of the fifth, Shea Clements solo homered to right center but couldn't get any more momentum on offense and the fifth inning closed out with Sac having a 4-2 lead. 

In the top of the seventh Sac put up three more runs and despite having two runners on base in the bottom of the inning, DSU couldn't get anymore runs and Sac State claimed the 7-2 win.
