Brooke Moeai drove a ball into left field and thanks to a Fighting Hawk error, Pestka was able to score. Abigail Sagert had a double to center field for an RBI. Ashlyn Visser also came up with a hit for an RBI.Â

In the bottom of the sixth, North Dakota put one more run on the board. Going into the final inning of play WSU had a 7-2 lead.Â
The Fighting Hawks made a push for victory by putting up two runs in the seventh, but WSU locked down on defense and closed out the game with a 7-4 win.Â
At the plate: WSU scored seven runs from 10 hits including six RBIs, one double and two home runs. Saltern went 2-5 at the plate with one run scored, two RBIs and a homerun. Sagert went 3-4 from the plate with one run, one RBI and one double.Â
