The Dons responded quickly in the bottom half of the inning as Mia Luna brought home two runs on a bunt single and advanced on the throw. SAC scored once more in the inning after the Roadrunners committed an error to extend the inning.

Sarah Casey, Haley Martinez and Mia Luna combined for nine hits and six RBI on the day to lead the Dons.
