Â
The sixth inning began with a walk by Ashley Rainey and stolen base by pinch runner Allison Moore. Moore scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch.

The Trojans added another run on a throwing error by the Mountaineers' shortstop. Day then singled through the right side, which scored two to give the Trojans a 7-3 lead. Michelle Phelps followed with her fifth home run of the season to clear the bases and gave the Trojans the victory.
Â
Appalachian State (8-11, 0-4 SBC) scored the first run of the game in the top of the first inning on a Tiffany Taynor single. Troy tied the game at one with a Day single to score Kate Benton.
Â
The Mountaineers took back the lead in the top of the second inning with a solo home run to left center by Cara Parker. Troy responded by adding two more runs in the bottom of the second thanks to a two-run single by Day.
Â
An RBI single by the Appalachian State second baseman, Cynthia Gomez, gave the Mountaineers the lead once again in the top of the sixth inning.
Â
