Arkansas-Monticello tied the game in the seventh as Lexi Livezey and Kammie Walker crossed home on a double from Maddie Pfleging. The final run of the game came home as Lainey Tippen scored on a sacrifice fly from Jadyn Hart. Ronnie Johnson pitched the last 4.0 innings, earning the win, while allowing only three hits and striking out two. Northwestern plated the first two runs of game two in the second via a double to left center, before tacking on two more in the sixth on a double down the right field line, making it 4-0. The Blossoms could only muster one run in the game, as Jadyn Hart ran in on a single through the six-hole from Sophie Wood. In the third and final game of the series, Northwestern was once again the first on the board, scoring a run off a triple in the bottom of the fourth. This was followed by an unearned run in the fifth off a single up the middle, taking a 2-0 lead. The Blossoms tied the game, 2-2, in the sixth as Cada Collins tripled to right field to bring in Kammie Walker and Jade Keaton.  A run was plated home off a single to right field in the bottom of the inning for the Rangers, allowing them to take the lead once more.
