The Pioneers got one more hit in the top of the seventh, but left two on base to keep the game at 5-0 heading into FSU's last at-bats. Senior Brianna Powell ripped a leadoff double to start the bottom of the inning, as sophomore Alyssa Albright would reach on an error, allowing Powell to score Frostburg's first run of the game. Freshman Gracie Nelson came in to pinch run for Albright, coming around to score as sophomore Christina Sommerkamp reached on an error as well.
