Unfortunately the next batters grounded out, struck and fouled out to end the game.

Kingsville put one run on the board in the bottom of the second and two scoreless innings followed for both teams. The fifth inning proved to be the difference in this game.

RU started off the top of the fifth increasing their lead to 3-1 on an RBI single down the left field line by Rademacher. The Javelinas did their damage with base runners in the fifth. Back-to-back singles with one out led to one run scoring on a fielder's choice. Later in the inning another single by the Javelinas scored two more runs that would prove to be the difference in the win.

Chelsie Rademacher was 5-for-7 in the two games with a double, a home run and five RBIs. Maureen McDaniel (So., Fort Collins, Colo.) was 2-for-3 on the day with a double.
