Then the Eagles added three more runs in the top of the fifth inning on the strength of the long ball. With runners on first and second base, pinch hitter Blair Destito hit a three-run home run over the center field wall for a 6-1 lead.

Kennesaw State-2, BC-1 - Allison Gage pitched a complete game, allowing two earned runs on eight hits, but the Eagles were held in check by Kennesaw State's pitching until the bottom of the seventh inning.
Trailing 2-0, Dani Weir led off the inning with her second home run of the day over the center field wall. With one out in the inning, Alison Koositra was hit by a pitch to put the tying run on first base. But the BC threat ended quietly with a fielder's choice and a groundout, giving the Owls a 2-1 win.
