Amanda Wilson pitched 8.1 innings allowing two runs on nine hits.  Tatum Buckley relieved her for the final half inning of the game.

"As a whole, you can’t let a team hang around and make them think they have an opportunity to get back into it and that’s exactly what we did", said Coach Joan Joyce. "We hit the ball very well in both games yesterday, but today we struggled a bit.”

The Owls (29-16, 9-6) were led by Delaney Rickey's 2-for-4 RBI showing at the plate and will next travel to North Texas for a three game stint.
