Jessica Gilmore reached base on a one-out error and advanced to second base on Kim Wendland's single to center field. McAllister advanced both runners two bases after doubling to right center field, scoring Gilmore. Doucette followed with an RBI single that scored Charvi Greer.
Georgia extended its lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the third inning after Doucette scored on a throwing error by pitcher Megan Jolly.
