UB tallied one run in the bottom of the third off reliever Sam Cain (Taylor, Mich. / Kennedy) on a walk, a wild pitch, a single and a fielder's choice.

The Warriors made it a two-run game again with a single run in the top of the sixth, but Bridgeport answered with a run in the bottom of the frame.  In the top of the sixth, Rebecca Stanley (Waterloo, Ont. / Waterloo C.I.) singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Becca Ryan (Westland, Mich. / Dearborn Divine Child).  Stanley moved to third on a single by LeClair and scored on a ground out by Bailey Reid (Guelph, Ont. / Ross Collegiate V.I.).

Wayne State then completed scoring with a four run top of the seventh.  Spaccarotelli had a leadoff walk and pinch-runner Makelle Barski (Trenton, Mich.) stole second and went to third on a single by Lauren Histed (Shelby Twp., Mich. / Utica), who advanced to second on the throw.  Alison Allen (Redford, Mich. / Farmington Hills Mercy) singled scoring Barksi, while Jaci Banton (Richmond Hill, Ont. / Cardinal Carter) followed with an RBI single plating Histed.  Stanley made it three hits in a row with an RBI single.  Pinch-hitter Kristina Susalla (Garden City, Mich.) recorded an RBI ground out for the final run.
