EMU scored in the bottom of the inning to cut their defecit to six. But the Lady Lions were looking to end the game in the sixth as they opened the inning with back to back singles from Jessica Hughes and Michelle Cisco. They kept things rolling as they loaded the bases with one out allowing Brittany Garza to hit a 2-RBI single. Then with two outs, Tyler Johnson hit her second double of the game to score two more runs and give Beaver a 14-4 lead. Holding EMU scoreless, they went on to win by the mercy rule in the bottom of the sixth.
