Earlier in the same inning McClanahan tripled and came home on a hard-hit ground ball by Segars to tie the game at 1-all. Pevahouse also had a single as did Mary Curtis and Kayla Orr.
The Lady Red Raiders grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning when Mollie Russell walked with the bases loaded to score Lindsey Hawkins. They added a run in the bottom of the seventh inning when a single by Hawkins scored Whitney Fletcher.
Segars was the winning pitcher. She gave up two runs on five hits while striking out five batters and walking three.
Russell also pitched well but was tagged with the loss. She allowed three runs on five hits while striking out six batters and walking two.
