Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Monmouth fell victim to late-inning trouble in a 9-5, 4-3 twinbill loss to Millikin.

The Scots banged out 14 hits in the game and came back in the sixth when Michaela Guthrie opened the inning with a base hit and then came home when Morgan Throop induced a bases-loaded walk. Monmouth still had hope in the  seventh when Johnna Schultz and Charlotte Park opened the inning with back-to-back hits. Schultz then raced home when Guthrie's shot to right was mishandled to cut the deficit to 9-4. A base hit by Hanna Drowns then chased Park home with two outs, but the rally fell short when a fly out to left ended the inning. 
 
Liz Hippen fanned nine in the nightcap, but the Big Blue touched the freshman for a single run in the seventh to break a 3-3 tie. Millikin had taken a 2-1 lead in the third, turning three straight hits into a pair of runs. Another tally in the fifth made it 3-1.
