It was the Purple Aces who got on the board in the top half of the first.  Eryn Gould drew a leadoff walk before Mea Adams singled up the middle to advance Gould to second.  Elyse Hickey drew a walk to load up the bases for Lindsay Renneisen, who was also able to force a walk to bring in the first run of the game.
 
The Skyhawks tied it up in the bottom of the first before scoring three times in the second.  Kaci Fuller, who was 2-for-4 with four RBI in the game, had a bases clearing triple to break the game open.  UTM scored two more runs in the fourth before hanging on for the 6-1 win.
 
In the top of the 7th, Evansville made a comeback attempt when Bella Coffey recorded the Aces' first hit since the first inning.  Macey Harrington followed with another 1-out single to get Coffey into scoring position, but Alexis Groet recorded the final two outs to clinch the win.
 
UTM starter Erin Gallagher picked up the win, tossing six frames of 1-run, 1-hit ball.  Megan Brenton made the start for UE, allowing four runs in 1 2/3 innings.  Jaime Nurrenbern threw 3 1/3 frames, giving up two runs while Erin Kleffman pitched a scoreless 6th inning.
