Ashton Hughes then followed up with a bunt single loading the bases for the top of the order. Waterloo then looked to get out of the inning, inducing a 1-2-3 double play and turning what looked to be a big Rebel inning into one that they could get out of with no damage. Olivia Strank had other plans however as she hit a two out 2 RBI single into shallow right field putting the Rebels up 3-0.

The Rebels added insurance runs in the 3rd, 6th and 7th innings to make their lead even more commanding. Baylis Bettura helped out with the late runs gathering 2 RBI.

Kaedyn Sutton got the win in the circle for the Rebels. She went 7 innings and only gave up 2 hits. She struck out 9. With the win Sutton breaks the program record for wins in a season with 16,
