In relief, Sara Bond surrendered six runs on five hits in 1.2 innings. Freshman Karley Fuller concluded the game for the Bulldogs in the circle and her lone out came via the strikeout. 
 
Both of Samford's runs on the night came in the fourth inning when Katie Campbell launched her team-best eighth home run of the season over the left field wall. Campbell's dinger scored Olivia Shaw, who reached base an at-bat before after working a leadoff walk.
