The Jayhawks scored 10 runs on nine hits, including two home runs, in the bottom of the first inning. Kansas hit two more long balls in the third inning to take a 13-0 lead.
 
Utah State got traffic on the basepaths in the fourth, with freshman infielder Jazmin Ramirez and senior outfielder Kya Pratt drawing two-out walks, but the Aggies couldn't cash in. Kansas tacked on another run in the bottom of the frame on an RBI double, extending their lead to 14-0. USU couldn't avoid the run rule, going down in order in the top of the fifth.
 
Freshman Jordyn Lish started the game in the circle and faced the first five batters, allowing four earned runs, before being replaced by senior Rylie Pindel. The Las Vegas native pitched 0.2 innings while conceding five earned runs. Senior Denay Smith replaced her in the circle, going 1.1 innings and allowing four earned runs.
