Kristen LaBuhn, Rochelle Nash, Regina Morales and Nikki Salazar were the only Dustdevils able to get to Britain each finishing 1-3 at the plate, while the rest of the TAMIU lineup finished 0-21. Kyndall Reaves dropped to 4-11 on the season after giving up six runs on nine hits with two strikeouts and two walks.

After holding the Rattlers to just one run through the first three innings, St. Mary's scored five over the final three to put the game out of reach. The Rattlers scored two in the fourth and fifth, before closing the door with a final run in the sixth.
