In the second game, Anderson built an early 2-0 lead behind RBI singles from senior Maggie Nauck and freshman Chole Maness in the second inning. Lincoln Memorial rallied in the sixth, tying the game on Hannah McMeen's two-run triple before Williams delivered another go-ahead RBI single. Jasmine Kaylor (4-3) picked up the win, allowing two runs—one earned—on six hits over six innings, while Patton recorded the save with a scoreless seventh. Freshman Sarah DePaola (1-4) took the loss despite a complete-game effort, surrendering three runs on eight hits.
