 Ava Perlinger opened game one with a home run to right field, followed by a two-RBI double from Jordan Iverson for a 3-0 UMHB lead in the first. The Pirates answered with a pair of second-inning runs but a Macy Alewine home run scored two more to put the Cru back up by three.
 
Southwestern answered with a solo shot in the third, knotting the game at three. UMHB put up two-run innings in the fifth and sixth to take a 9-3 lead. Angelina Rodriguez and Alewine both drove in runs in the fifth off a double and a single, respectively, while Shorey Nguyen's two-RBI double brought a pair of runs across in the sixth.
