Hamline 4, Gustavus Adolphus 3

Hamline scored the game's first four runs. One of those occurred in the first inning courtesy of Jenna Rubbelke; who walked, stole second, and scored on Megan Rubbelke's double to give the Pipers a 1-0 edge. Deja vù took hold in the second inning as Jenna Rubbelke led things off with a bunt single, and advanced to second base on Amber Peterson's sacrifice bunt. This set up Megan Rubbelke's RBI-double that made the score 2-0. Megan Rubbelke moved to third base on Kira Krueger's single before she scored on a wild pitch to make things 3-0.

Jenna Rubbelke's stellar base running in the fifth inning widened Hamline's lead to 4-0. She reached on a fielder's choice before she circled the bases on two stolen bases and a wild pitch.

Dana Rosbacka allowed four hits and three runs in a complete-game pitching victory for the Pipers. Megan Rubbelke (two doubles) and Raelyn Costley each went 2-for-3 at the plate for Hamline, while Jenna Rubbelke led the way with three runs scored.
