Kate Blankenship would single to left field and Elyze Paulzine would double to center field to bring in the first run of the game. Though the Rebels wouldn’t score again in the 4th inning they would add five more runs in the bottom of the 5th. Emmi Peltola, who has been red hot to start the season, drove in two runs with a double. Calliegh Doeden would bring her in with a base hit to left and the final run would score on a Blankenship long fly ball that would be dropped in right field. The Rebels were on top 5-0. The Wolverines would score a pair of runs in the 6th inning after an error and a bunt hit would put two runners on and then a ground out and a single to center would make the score 5-2. Taylor Larson would single to open the bottom of the 6th inning and she would later score on a base hit by Ava Deacon. Emmi Peltola singled for her third hit of the game which would score Ava Deacon and the Rebels led 7 to 2. The Wolverines would plate three runs in the top half of the 7th inning but the Rebels would not allow the game tying run to come to the plate as MCC would win 7-5.
