In the sixth inning, Arizona tied the game on an RBI single from Shockey to score Allie Skaggs. Both teams held each other scoreless in the seventh to force extra innings.
In the eighth, CMU scored on an RBI single but the Wildcats tied the game at 4-4 with another sacrifice fly from Scupin.
Aissa Silva (8-0) retired the Chippewas in order in the top of the ninth. With Blaise Biringer on second base in the bottom of the ninth, Jasmine Perezchica forced a CMU error to score Biringer from second base and win the game.
