The Highlanders (28-14, 9-2 Big South) provided Jenkins all the scoring with three runs in the third and fourth innings.

After Hannah Ojeda singled and moved to third on successive errors by the leftfielder, Kristen Shifflett and Beall roped back-to-back one-out RBI doubles to give Radford a 2-0 advantage in the third. Shannon Keefe capped off the inning by executing a squeeze that plated Beall.

In the fourth, the Highlanders scored all their runs with two outs. The big blow was a two-run double off the centerfield wall by Beall. Taylor Cunningham added a sharp RBI single to right to close out the scoring. An error on the second batter of the innings allowed Beall and Cunningham opportunities to extend Radford's lead.

Ojeda doubled and scored a pair of runs for Radford, while Cunningham was 2-for-4 with a RBI.
