DETROIT, Mich. – The opening game of the Green Bay-Detroit Mercy softball series came down to the wire, with the Titans grabbed the contest, 3-2. GB tied the game up in the top of the sixth, but UDM scored in the bottom of the sixth and held serve in the seventh to wrap up the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Trailing 2-0, the Phoenix first put runs on the board in the fifth inning when Kaylin Fahy hit a sac fly to score Karissa Laabs.
