After three scoreless innings, Georgia Gwinnett got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. The Grizzlies Haley Thompson homered off the fence along the left side, they scored one more run in the fourth and two more in the fifth. The Scotties got all three of their runs in the fifth inning.  First-year Alliyah Williams led off and was walked, junior Julia Blattner followed up with a single, junior Ashley Monsrud batted next and hit a single setting the Scotties up with bases loaded. Junior Tiffany Cain then drove home Williams and Blattner, good for two RBI's.  The third run came from Alyssa Millikin on a fielder's choice bringing Monsrud home.
