Houston put the game out of reach in the second inning, on an opposite field grand slam by Kristen Glowacz. The home run knocked in Adams, Nesloney and Lindsay Durham.

Jeanie Davis provided Houston with an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning with a double which knocked in Arelis Ferreris who had gotten to first base on a single to center field.

Crystal Briscoe picked up the win for Houston, throwing a complete game, giving up three runs on three hits while striking out one and walking two.
