The Pioneers tallied 12 hits and steadily added to the scoreboard with runs in four of the six innings they came to bat. Jodi Frontino's solo homer in the third was the second running of that inning, and it gave the Pioneers the lead for good at 3-2.

Taylor Goldstrohm was 3 for 4 with a double and three RBIs. Registering two hits apiece were Angalee Beall, Hailey Leitner, Michaela Koch and Carissa Scekeres. Scekeres drove in two runs, and Koch drove in one.

Beall worked the first 5.0 innings in the circle and got the victory. She handed a 5-3 lead over to Courtney Shoemake, who pitched 2.0 innings of scoreless and hitless ball to get the save. An error to start the seventh was the only batter to reach versus Shoemake.
