Alexander's sacrifice bunt advanced Babbitt to second. Savannah Horvath was intentionally walked to bring up Journey Rojas. Rojas grounded out to Chalmers in the circle which allowed both runners to move up a base. Megan Stevens was intentionally walked to load the bases. The second pitch to Haileigh Gonzalez looked like an extra base hit, but just went foul. With the count 1-2, Gonzalez grounded out to third for the final out.
