Lord was the starting pitcher as Hampden rolled out to a 7-1 lead in the second inning and never trailed the rest of the way. Lord gave way to a reliever and Orono closed the gap to 10-9 with two runs in the top of the fifth inning. Hampden was unable to add to their lead in the bottom half of the inning and took a one run lead into the final inning.

Orono rallied to load the bases in the top of the seventh, and with one out Lord re-entered the circle. She managed to retire the next batter, and closed the game out with a strikeout to preserve the win for Hampden.

Orono scored one run in the first, three runs in the third and fourth inning, and two in the fifth for their nine runs. Abby Weigang led Orono with two singles in the game.

Hampden scored one run in the first inning, six in the second inning, two in the third inning, and one in the fourth inning for their 10 runs. Daija Misler topped Hampden with two singles.
