The Kats scored their lone run in the fourth inning. Freshman Kylie Hobbs reached in a throwing error with one out and came around to score when sophomore Kyndal Kutac singled down the left-field line.

The Mavericks (8-20) scored a run in the first, two in the second, one in the third and fifth, two in the sixth and one in the top of the seventh.

Kutac also doubled down the left-field line in the second inning. Senior Megan McDonald and and freshman Emily Telg accounted for the other two singles.
