In the opening inning, the Rams allowed a pair of first inning runs to the Falcons before breaking out for three second inning runs. Delaney got things started with an RBI sacrifice fly to score sophomore pitcher Erica Davis. Snipes added an RBi double to score freshman Tia Robinson. Chambers added an RBI single as well to score junior Kortney Thomas and left the Rams with a 3-2 lead. However, the Rams could not get any more runs across the plate with a run in the third, fifth, and sixth innings to leave the Rams with the 5-3 loss.
