  • Down 4-3 with two outs in the seventh, Colby pulled of the comeback on an RBI single from Juliana Kiley and two-run single by Ramirez to pull ahead 6-4.
  • After three scoreless innings opened the nightcap, Colby grabbed a 3-0 lead in the fourth with a runner scoring on an error, along with a two-run single from Carissa Cassidy.
  • The Bantams looked to chip away at the deficit in the home half of the fourth, but Trinity left the bases loaded. In the bottom of the fifth, Goddard belted a two-out RBI single to trim the gap to 3-1.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, Trinity mounted their comeback, beginning with a one-out double from Stadler. With runners on first and third, Schroffner laced an RBI single, and then stole second to put Bantams on second and third. Alper plated Mikayla O'Brien with a single to centerfield to knot the score at 3-3.
