The Cajuns fall to 9-3 while Michigan is now 4-3.

In the bottom of the inning, Vallie Gaspard would reach first on single. She would move to second after Melissa Verde grounded out to second. But Gaspard couldn't not reach home plate as a pop fly ended the inning.
Michigan would take a 4-0 lead in the top of the fifth after a two-run home run by Angela Findlay.
Michigan would plate two more runs in the top of the sixth to seal the win.
Gaspard would record the two of the Cajuns' three hits.
