A Makana Morton RBI single drove in a pair of runs and a Maeson Grace RBI single put the score at 5-0 as the Muleriders batted around their lineup in the first frame.

Elisa Favela would match Morton with a two-RBI single of her own an inning later to make it 7-0; two runs in the fourth and a run in the fifth inning by the Bulldogs would make the score 7-3.

The Muleriders closed affairs with four runs in the final frame, with an RBI double from Grace and a 2-RBI double from leadoff hitter Alese Casper.

Next batter Jaxynn Dyson would drive in the final run on an RBI single.

Victoria Taylor started the game in the circle, striking out five in 3.1 innings; she was relieved by Landry Newgent, who picked up her first win as a Mulerider, pitching 2.2 innings in relief, striking out two.

Favela closed out the game, striking out two in her one inning of work.
