Wilmington University would answer back in the bottom of the fourth inning when Haley Downin hit a two-out RBI double to left-center field to tie the score at one.

Wilmington wins 3-2!

Two innings later, WilmU would score again as Haley Dowinin would reach first base on a fielder’s choice, but it allowed Danielle Hess to score to give their team a 2-1 lead.

In the top of the seventh inning, Franklin Pierce would tie the game up at two runs when Bella Williams hit an RBI single to left-center field.

Wilmington would answer back in the bottom of the seventh inning with three hits and one walk-off hit for the win.

The inning started with Sara Miller hitting a double to left-center field. Freshman center fielder Tristyn Stewart would be the next up to bat as she hit a single. Taylor Gillis would be the next batter as she would hit a WALK-OFF SINGLE to left field, which would allow Miller to score to give the Wildcats a 3-2!
