The Aggies scored again when a double from senior catcher Grace Matej was followed by a sacrifice fly by sophomore catcher Jaelyn Castillo to make it 2-0. 

Utah State scored four more in the third inning. After a leadoff base hit then a walk, senior infielder Alex Bunton delivered a single up the middle to bring junior outfielder Keely Goushá home. A home run for senior outfielder Kya Pratt then cleared the bases and put USU up 6-0. 

The Wildcats then clawed back with 11-straight runs. They scored three in the fourth inning, one in the fifth, three in the sixth and four in the seventh to take control. USU's final run of the day came in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single for freshman infielder Kate Vance.
