Cuticchia picked up her first home run in the season, and Hutchison picked up her second three-run homer in the top of the five-run seventh inning.

Senior second baseman Brittney Whittier (Scottsdale, Ariz.) picked up the first hit of the game with a double down the left field line before Upchurch ripped another double down the same line scoring Whittier and taking an early lead in the top of the third, 1-0.

Freshman shortstop Tia Blosser (Knoxville, Tenn.) continued the offensive strike in the top of the fourth hitting a lead-off double to center field on the first pitch she saw, only her third double of the season. Freshman catcher Brittany Eason (Chattanooga, Tenn.) drove Blosser home with her one-out single to the right side making the score 2-0 in the middle of the fourth.

In the top of the fifth, Whittier led off reaching on an error by the shortstop before advancing to second on a wild pitch. Junior Ashlan Clarkson (Chickamauga, Ga.), pinch hitting for senior left fielder Jeannie Cochran (Maryville, Tenn.), lobbed a hit over the third baseman to put runners on first and second.
