Heading into the bottom of the inning DU would be up 2-1 with a runner starting on second base. Campbellsville would bunt the runner over to third base with one out in the inning. The next batter would hit a line drive to Cornman in right field for the second out and then she would throw out the runner at home to give DU the 2-1 victory.
