The Mules plated four more runs in the fourth, with Logan Luebbe, Jackie Hill, Colleen McAvoy, and Crowley all pushing a run across. Sam Ahlholm came on in relief in the fifth inning, pitching the remainder of the game and striking out four.  Colby finished the game with eighteen hits on the day, led by Chloe Wilcox and McAvoy who collected four hits apiece.
