In game one, it was a battle between Owls (11-12; 4-0 AMC) hurler Allison Waskow and Eagles (15-11; 1-1 The Sun Conference) starter Robi Zimmerman, as the duo held each opposing offense scoreless through four innings of work.
 
It was William Woods, however, striking first in the top of the fifth, as Hannah Campbell reached base on a one out infield single. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, Campbell was brought home two batters later by senior Kacey Scharnhorst, as she singled to left field, tallying her 18^th RBI on the year and giving the Owls a 1-0 advantage.
 
After Waskow made quick work of the Eagles in the home half of the fifth, in the top of the sixth, Brailee Schulte hit a two out double to left field and she was able to score two pitches later, as Shelby LeCuru traded places with Schulte, hitting a double down the left field line and extending the teams' lead to 2-0.
 
Julie Scheer then came to the dish as a pinch-hitter and was able to single up the middle, but LeCuru was thrown out at home from centerfield, which kept the game at 2-0.
 
That score remained the same until the bottom of the seventh, as after Waskow got Raquelli Bianco to strikeout, but Taylor Cowan was able to work a one out walk. Haleigh Lewis came up next and singled up the middle, which placed the tying run on first and brought up the pitcher, Zimmerman, to the plate as the winning run.
 
It was a battle between Waskow and Zimmerman, but on the seventh pitch of the at-bat, Zimmerman hit her first home run on the season over the left field wall, giving the Eagles a walk-off one run victory, while handing WWU a heartbreaking defeat.
 
Despite being handed the loss, Waskow was dominant all afternoon inside the circle, as she went 6.1 innings, allowing three runs on four hits, while striking out nine batters.

It would remain 1-0 until the bottom of the fourth inning, as Cowan was able to reach base on a fielder's choice, then after stealing second, Bianco hit the 3-1 offering from Owls starter Bre Logan over the right center field wall, to extend the teams' lead out to 3-0 over WWU.
 
The Owls, however, would continue to battle and in the top of the seventh, Alexi Cavins led things off with a single to left field. After a strikeout, Campbell was able to reach base on a fielder's choice, but Eagles starter Bianco was able to erase any type of threat WWU would have liked to get going, as she struck out the final batter of the game and secured the three run victory for Embry-Riddle.
