The Bears had the first real scoring chance of the game in the bottom of the fourth as Brown had runners on first and second with one out. After a strikeout, Burns singled to left but the throw home caught Kaicee Klus and kept the Bears off the board.

In the fifth, UMass Lowell got on the board after a single, sac bunt and wild pitch put the runner on third with one out. A fly out to right scored the run and made it 1-0.

The Bears responded in the bottom of the frame, beginning with a lead-off single by Maya Choksi. A one-out error but runners on first and second for Thompson. On a 1-2 count, Thompson crushed the pitch into the stiff wind coming in from right and easily cleared the fence for a three-run home run to make it 3-1.

Brown picked up an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth as Burns took a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left for a solo shot.

Borowski allowed a two-out single in the top of the seventh but picked up a flyout in the next at bat to end the game.
