The Lady Bears jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, scoring both runs with two outs. Smith got things started with an RBI-double off the wall in center to score the first of three Kaitlyn Thumannruns. Hosack followed with an RBI-single to left center for the two-run advantage.

Baylor used the momentum to plate four in the bottom half of the inning, as Hays laced an RBI-single through the left side to score Thumann for the 3-0 lead. With one out and runners at second and third, Smith hit a hard grounder passed the second baseman and into right, scoring Shelton. Hosack followed with another RBI-single of her own before Canion belted a long single off the wall in right center to make it 6-0.

Hays ended the game in the sixth with one swing of her bat, as her triple missed going over the fence in left field by inches. Bailey Chalmersand Thumann, who each singled, came around to score for the 8-0 win.

After allowing a single to left to lead off the seventh, Canion came on to replace Stearns and quickly gave up a bunt-single to put runners at first and second. Canion then induced a ground ball to the circle for the first out, allowing the runners to move up. A grounder to short was quickly fired home from Jordan Stricklandfor the second out, and following a walk, Canion got Andie Varsho to fly out to shallow center to end the game and threat.

Baylor picked up its first hit of the game in the fourth, as Kathy Sheltonled off with a double down the right field line. That set the stage for Hays' single up the middle that gave BU its 1-0 lead.
