A four-run second inning gave Mercer an early advantage against the Vikings. Kenlie Harvey and Danielle Castleberry tallied RBI singles in the frame and Shaila Warren and Lane plated Mercer's first two runs after a fielding error. Walsh and Lane added to the Bears' lead with a pair of solo home runs in the third inning. Mercer made it an eight-run lead with a RBI double by Allie Jones and a RBI single by Catie Josselet in the fourth.

After a Mercer fielding error gave way to a pair of runs for Cleveland State, Castleberry ended the game on the run rule with a two-run single through the right side in the bottom of the fifth.
