Randolph Macon scored in the first on a an RBI single Kayla Davis.

Rowan appeared to score in the bottom half as Liz McCaffery tripled to right with a runner on but after an umpire conference, the play was determined to be a ground-rule double after the ball went into an out-of-play area off the field, putting runners back on second and third. Baughan got a strikeout and ground out to get out of the frame.

Gracie Ellis added a two-run double in third to add to the RMC lead

The Profs looked to threaten in the bottom of the fourth, loading the bases with two outs but a forceout on a fielder's choice ended the inning.
