Ohio Wesleyan got one run back in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by junior third baseman Madi Drabick (Mount Vernon).

The Bishops erupted for 7 runs in the bottom of the sixth, loading the bases on an infield single by junior shortstop Madison Bridger (Pataskala/Licking Heights) and walks to junior outfielder Erica Buchanan (Hilliard/Davidson) and Sattler.  Junior second baseman Nicole Peak (Ostrander/Buckeye Valley) doubled home a pair of runs to bring Ohio Wesleyan within 7-6, and a Drabick single tied the game at 7 before sophomore catcher Cami Fisk (Pickerington/Central) singled in Peak.  Waddell capped the inning with a bases-loaded double that gave the Bishops an 11-7 lead.

The Vikings rallied in the top of the seventh, with Hayley Jackson singling in a run and Rachael Feazelle doubling home a run and putting the tying run in scoring position, but senior righthander Emily VanDermark (Junction City/Fisher Catholic) retired Jackie Calba on an infield grounder to end the game.

Fisk was 4-for-4, tying the school record for hits in a game.  Drabick went 3-for-4 and junior outfielder Aimee Duckworth (Hilliard/Bradley) and Peak each went 2-for-4.  VanDermark pitched the complete game.

Drabick retired the Cougars in order in the bottom of the seventh to nail down the complete-game win.
