Trinity started the scoring in the top of the first when Yi launched her 4th home run of the season with Young aboard via a single. Carlin Payne singled home Flynt (single) in the 3rd to make the score 3-1. In the 5th, Ashlee Shaw tripled in Yi (double), and Flynt's sacrifice fly brought home Shaw. Trinity led 5-1 at that point. 

Baptist got a run in the 5th to make it 5-2 then scored two more in the 7th before Flynt and Young retired the final batter.

Shaw was 2 for 4 with 1 RBI and 1 run scored. Payne was 1 for 3, and Autumbn Eady was 1 for 3 and drew a walk.
