Against Chatham, senior shortstop Sarah Fetters (Woodhaven, Mich./Maumee (Ohio)) led the Tigers with three RBI while sophomore starting pitcher Brooke Boswell (Hamilton, Ohio/Fairfield) threw four perfect innings, including seven strikeouts, to keep the Tigers on top.

In the day's early game versus Beloit, it was junior pitcher Rachael Hatcher (West Carrollton, Ohio/West Carrollton) who took home a solid performance from the mound, throwing six scoreless innings. In the fourth inning, sophomore Haley Gerken (Logan, Ohio/Logan) pinch hit for sophomore catcher Emily Rudman (West Lafayette, Ind./West Lafayette), and rocketed a triple, scoring two runs in the process.
