Missouri Western (28-21) scored one in the bottom of the second tying the score and in the third took a 3-1 lead on a two-run homer by Chloe Armstrong.

The Ichabods cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth taking advantage of a Griffon error when Autymn Schreiner reached on the Missouri Western miscue. After a sac bunt from Kimi Patterson, Schreiner scored on a double down the left field line from Robbins.

In the sixth, Patterson started the rally with a single to left and after a single from Marrit Mead, Robbins again came through with a triple to right center driving in both Mead and Patterson putting Washburn up 4-3. Then in Washburn's next at bat, Jaycee Ginter sent one over the right field fence scoring herself and Robbins as Washburn pushed the lead to 6-3.
