Allyson Johnson and Kylee Ensign followed with singles but the Tigers got out of the inning with no further damage and the hosts never threatened again. Johnson and Ensign each had two hits to go along with Burke's circuit shot but Salem retired the last 10 WLU batters in order to seal the nod.

The Hilltoppers were held to just three hits but all three went for extra bases. Ensign tripled to put an exclamation point on a strong afternoon while Maggie Starr and Damia Mogielski each had a double. SOFTBALL
