The Green-and-White held Valdosta to a close game through three innings in the final game of the series. Delta State got the scoring started first early in the first inning when Kassidy Tally drew a leadoff walk, later stole second, and advanced to third on an Amber Adcock single. Adcock was later called out when she purposefully got in a run down trying to steal second, attempting to score Tally from third. The diversion worked as Tally was able to cross the plate, putting DSU on the board first, 1-0, which would be its only run of the day.
