Northern's best chance at a scoring opportunity came in the second inning against the Golden Bears (15-8, 4-0 NSIC).  Breanna Milnes got on base due to a fielding error and eventually made her way to third base before getting caught in a hot box trying to score.  The team had two other runners advance to third base, including Kaylee Johnson, who led off the third inning with a double to right center field.

The game was manageable until the third inning, when CSP's Bjorlin knocked a three-run homer over the fence to give the Golden Bears a 4-0 lead.  They tacked on six more runs in the fourth inning after coming up with five hits.
