Stetson (10-3) came out in the fifth inning on fire as it scored eight runs on seven hits. Back-to-back singles for the Hatters to lead off the inning put runners at second and third. After a fly out to center, a pop up to the shortstop and a walk, Stetson's Jessica Griffin hit a two-run single to tie the game at two and advanced to second on the throw. A walk loaded the bases again for the Hatters and then a double by Courtney Brandt cleared the bases and made the score 5-2. Two more doubles by Stetson batters added two more runs to the board. The final run in the inning came on a one-run double.

Becca Hartley hit her second home run of the tournament, her third of the year, in the sixth inning to cut the Hatter's lead to five runs at 8-3. Stetson responded as it added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning on a solo home run by Griffin to claim the win, 9-3.
