Ava Brooks and Shelby Echols both delivered an RBI in the seventh to even the score at three. Ashlee Jacoway picked up her first hit of the season that started the seventh inning rally.
Cal Poly won in extra innings after a sac-fly scored the winning run.

Game 2 – MTSU 4, Sacramento State 5

Both teams went scoreless for two innings before the Blue Raiders got on the board in fifth.

In the sixth inning, MTSU tied the game with three runs off RBI from Echols and Amaya Harris.
The Hornets would walk the game off with a run in the seventh.
