In the second Kristi Robles logged Tech's first hit of the game, breaking a four game streak with no hits. In the third the Lady Raiders encountered the same situation as the first with a double by Ogee and single by Trimboli but would not escape Cornhusker runs with Ogee scoring on a Lisa Wangler fly out.

Nebraska entered into the fifth at the top of the batting order with Ogee, who for her third time of the day hit a double and was followed up a Trimboli single to score. Amber Burgess followed with a two-run homerun.
