The Tigers took advantage of two costly Rebels miscues as Cherry scored the games only 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning.

Joely Roberts scored the games first run as she scored from third base as she was squeezed in on a bunt from Abby Mayry. Roberts who was on third following a misplayed fly ball in the Rebels outfield. The Tigers made it 2-0 when Mayry scored following her attempt to steal third the throw went into left field allowing Mayry to score the second run.

The Tiger with the two run lead went on to shutout the Rebels as Roberts was the winning pitcher Friday allowing only two hits in the win.
