EIU's offense provided early support as Kendall Grover opened the game drawing the first of three straight walks.  She came around to score on a RBI single by Briana Gonzalez.  Abbi Hatton drove home Gonzalez in the next at-bat staking EIU to an early 2-0 lead.

Karson Davey drew a bases loaded walk to score the Panthers run in the second before the offense exploded for six runs in the third. 

Gonzalez had the big hit in the third with a bases clearing triple to right center as the shortstop was 2-for-3 with four RBI.   Gonzalez was the lone Panther with multiple hits in the game.

Davey picked up her second RBI of the game in the third being hit-by-pitch with bases loaded. 

EIU is now 6-9 on the season.
