In the nightcap Weissenbach hit a two run homer in the bottom of the sixth for an 8-0 run rule win over the Hillcats.  Weissenbach (9-10) also had a very good outing allowing just four Rogers State hits.

Drury finished with 14 hits and joining Weissenbach with three hits was Kari Hillenburg who also scored two runs and Forge who had three hits, three runs and an RBI.

In the opener the Hillcats got on the board first with an RBI single in the first inning and held the lead until the bottom of the fourth when Drury scored runs on an error that Weissenbach scored on followed by a steal of home by Rachael Michaelis for a 2-1 lead. 

The Hillcats tied it up in the top of the fifth when Cailin Simpson homered. In the fifth Carson Forge put the Panthers back on top with an RBI double to left center to plate Marissa Ross and a two run error by the Hillcats capped off the fifth for a 5-2 Panther lead.

An RBI fielders choice by Chantal Oelrich scored Hillenburg in the sixth to cap the Panther scoring off for a 6-2 win.
