Klinnert went 4-for-4 at the plate with six RBI and and three runs scored. Gabby Tuhy, Megan Ahlness, and Raelyn Costley each notched two hits for a Hamline squad that pounded 17 hits. Costley, Megan Rubbelke, and Kira Krueger each knocked in a pair of runs. Jenna Rubbelke scored two runs, and went 1-for-1 with a double.

Two Bengals errors in the first inning propelled Hamline to a 2-0 lead. Buffalo State knotted the score at 2-2 with a run in the first and fourth innings.

Hamline responded with five unanswered runs. The surge began in the fifth inning when Megan Rubbelke led off with a single, stole second, and scored off Klinnert's double to widen the margin to 3-2. Klinnert scored off Tuhy's single to make the score 4-2. The Pipers played small ball in the sixth inning, when Costley walked and later scored from third base off Megan Rubbelke's sacrifice bunt to put the score at 5-2.

Gabby Cook led off with a seventh-inning double, before Savannah Johnson pinch ran for her and later scored on a wild pitch to extend things to 6-2. Tuhy walked on the play, and later came home on Lydia Lecher's double to end the scoring at 7-2.

Jenna Rubbelke, Klinnert, and Tuhy each registered two hits for Hamline.
