Neither team would score again until Williams' walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh - a three-run shot, which tied the MIAA career record of 52 held by Emporia State's Megan Davison, who played for the Hornets from 2004-07. Kayla Long improved to 5-5 on the season while striking out a career high 13 walking only one in the complete game win.

Washburn added solo home runs in the second on a Lauren Mersman home run, the first of her career and one more in the third on Ashley Podschun's second long ball on the season. In the fourth inning, Williams added her fifth home run of the season and her third on the afternoon giving her 54 for her Washburn career, which scored Mersman who reached on an infield single. In the fifth inning, Washburn added two more runs on a Lauren Himpel single to left scoring Lindsey Moore who reached on a double to left field. Washburn ended the game by scoring four in the bottom of the sixth with a single by Nicole Perkuhn scoring Moore. Jacque Horejsi and Moore picked up solo RBI in the inning.
