After the game started two scoreless innings. Tampa got on the board in the bottom of the third inning with an RBI single to centerfield by Kinnah Kreidler.
Assumption threatened in the top of the fourth, as
Kaitlyn Cahill led off the frame with a single up the middle before stealing second. She would advance to third base on a sacrifice bunt, but the Spartans' pitching staff would get back-to-back strikeouts to get out of the jam.

Kaylee Lacomb with an infield single to the shortstop. The Greyhounds would threaten later in the inning, as they would get runners on second and third with just one out, but a pick off and a pop out would end the threat.
Kaelin Waldron kept the reigning national championship runner-ups off the scoreboard until the bottom of the sixth inning, where the Spartans would plate three runs in the frame. Assumption got a runner on in the top of the seventh, but they would eventually fall 3-1.
