In the sixth, Alli Craft blasted a two-run shot that also brought in Kacy Noland to tie the game at 2-2 and force extra innings.
 
In the top of the eight, the Badgers took a 3-2 lead when Tiffany Fairchild scored on an error.

During Hague's next at back, Noland and Kailey Hunt pulled a double steal which allowed Hunt to score. Hague then singled to center as Noland scored from second. A dropped ball in left during Craft's at-bat let Shay Shepherd and Hague come around to score. Grace Self capped the big inning a double to bring in Alli Craft and give UWA a 7-1 lead. 
 
Spring Hill added two in the fourth as Thomas and Fillmore both scored separate fielder's choices to make it 7-3.
