Tied at 1-1 heading into the fourth, the Profs plated three runs on three hits highlighted by MacNair's RBI triple to score Grace Shukaitis.

Montclair cut it to 3-2 scoring on a wild pitch in the bottom of inning.

Now in the seventh after two outs on the first three batters, a single and a walk loaded the bases for MSU's Jenna Meluso who drove in two runs with a base hit down the line in right.

Liz McCaffery was placed on second to start the eighth and was moved over to third on a sacrifice from Thomas. McCaffery scored on Hague's grounder to short to retake the lead. The Red Hawks would also move its ghost runner to third on a sac bunt in the bottom of the frame, but Lutz notched her sixth and seventh strikeouts of the game to lock it up.
