The Jimmies took an early lead with Abby Blair driving in a run in the top of the first inning. They added another run to make it 2-0 before the Mustangs scored in the third to bring the score to 2-1. In the fifth inning, the Jimmies sealed the win with a run-scoring single from Gracie Fisher, making it 3-1.
In the second game of the doubleheader, the Jimmies fell short with a 10-6 loss to the Mustangs. They initially took a 3-0 lead in the second inning but the Mustangs fought back to tie the game.
