The teams would play two scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth before ACU was able to tie the game in the top of the sixth. Back-to-back doubles from Samantha Bradley and Avery Miloch pushed one run across before Katelyn Belch drove Miloch in to tie the game.

After no score in the seventh, the Wildcats were unable to build off a one-out single in the top of the eighth. The Lady Lions got back-to-back hits in the bottom of the inning to earn the walk-off win.
