Four innings later, the Oilers would add to their lead in the top of the sixth. Sophomore Annika Bredel recorded a two-RBI single that would give Findlay a 3-0 lead and the eventual win.

The Panthers answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the sixth inning. The tied score would remain and force extra innings. 

In the top of the ninth, senior Avery Shepherd hit a home run to left center to give Findlay the lead. The Panthers recorded two hits but the Oilers defense proved to be enough, getting three outs and the win. 

Senior Molly Pfiffner picked up her tenth win of the season in the circle after relieving junior Emma Jones. Pfifner allowed two hits and struck out two.
