- The bottom of the second saw senior Taylor Ensley hit a sacrifice fly to bring graduate Hannah Goodwin home to increase the lead to 3-0.

- Junior MaKayla Marbury grounded out to the Camels infield but Tori Ensley managed to score to push the Pack ahead, 5-1.

How it Happened
- Senior Taylor Ensley hit a double in the bottom half of the first that allowed her younger sister Tori Ensley to score.
- The bottom of the second saw members of the Pack cross home plate. Junior Teagan Thrunk started the hit fest with a single to left field with bases loaded, bringing one home. Madison Inscoe would later score on a wild pitch to leave two on base with Tori Ensley in the box.
- Tori Ensley was walked, bringing her older sister into the batters box. The older Ensley sister also walked, allowing Hannah Goodwin to score.
- With two outs on the board, bases loaded, and a 1-2 count, junior Hannah Church was feeling grand as she hit her first grand slam in the Wolfpack jersey. It also marked the first grand slam by a member of the Pack this season.
- Michele Tarpey hit a solo rocket of her own to follow Church and mark her first homer of the season. The hit pushed the Pack in front, 8-1.
- Inscoe, Goodwin, and Thrunk all singled to bring the Pack's hit total to seven on the frame before the Camels managed to stop the scoring fest.
- In the bottom of the third, freshman Anna McGowan pinch hit for Kendall Simmers and recorded her first collegiate hit with a single to right field.
- The Camels managed to score four in the top of the fourth to minimize the deficit to six, 10-4.
- The Wolfpack was looking to end things in five innings and did just that. After Goodwin was walked to lead off the inning, Thrunk recorded her third hit of the evening with a single to left field. Junior Bailey Edwards recorded her first hit of the season with a single to left to load the bases for for Tori Ensley.
- Ensley reached on a fielder's choice, allowing St. Jean to score. Kam Munson was hit by a pitch, loading the bases once again with Kendall Simmers in the box. Simmers would work a 3-1 count before being thrown ball four to bring Thrunk home from third and end the game with the Pack on top, 12-4.
- Sophomore right handed pitcher Carly Maxton earned the win in the circle to mark her fourth of the season and she finished with five strikeouts.
