A home run for RMU in the fourth made it a 6-2 game favoring the Phoenix, who went on to add three insurance runs in the sixth inning. To eventually earn a 9-2 victory.

RMU saw its first lead of the entire series come in the third inning after a trio of colonials touched home plate.

The advantage proved to be short-lived as GB answered with three runs of its own in the bottom of the frame.

A single from Saloun in the fourth inning brought Randi McKay home and put the Phoenix in front, 4-3.

Robert Morris tied the game with a home run and added two runs in the top of the seventh to lead things 6-4 needing only three runs to secure a victory. GB was able to cut the deficit in half but couldn't pull even with RMU, falling to close the day, 6-5.
