Rust finally rounded home plate in the top of the fourth on a single and a fielding error. The Scotties plated two more runs in the fourth to cap off the run-rule victory. On the mound, first-year pitcher Holly Jones got her first win of the season. In three innings, she allowed zero hits and struck out five.  First-year Alliyah Williams closed out the final two innings allowing one hit, one run and striking out six.
