In the top of the sixth UM-Dearborn scored an unearned run followed by a two RBI homerun by Ewald, putting the Wolverines up 3-0. The Saints came back swinging with a Bianchi double to left field and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Ashley Helmink. Taylor Mowery earned a sacrifice fly, RBI to earn the Saints' lone run.
