Talley went to third on a single by Janay Reynolds and scored on a single by Bethany Alderete. Alderete had two of the four hits given up by the Lady Eagles in the game. All four hits were singles.

The Lady Eagles, on the other hand, had seven hits against two pitchers in the game, with Malory Schattle slugging out a third inning triple and a fourth inning two-run double.
