Arelis Ferreris reached on an error by UAB third baseman Nicole Whitlock, forcing in Adams, while keeping the bases loaded. Trailing 4-2, Davis put the Cougars in the lead with one swing, sending the ball over the left field fence as Blazer left fielder Chelsea McCall Crashed through the fence.

Houston was hitless though four innings before Brandi Clark hit a line drive which bounced off a diving Whitlock's glove. Despite being no hit, the Cougars scored a run in the fourth inning. After Glowacz walked and was sacrificed over by Skender and Ferreris, she came across putting Houston on the board on a passed ball.
