The Panthers recorded three-straight singles in the bottom of the fourth and forced the bases the loaded with one out, but a strikeout and groundout ended the inning with no runs scored. Pitt scored in the bottom of the fourth as back-to-back doubles from Katlyn Pavlick and Kayla Lane drove in three runs total, but the Panthers fell 12-3 as it could not extend the inning.
Both Pavlick and Lane tallied two hits, while freshman Amanda "Tuta" Ramirez went 1-for-2 with a walk.

Pitt (11-14, 1-7 ACC) registered its first hit of the game in the seventh inning as senior Yvonne Whaley's bunt single broke up a perfect game. Sophomore Cami Compson drove in Whaley as she singled to right center. A throwing error sent Compson to third, who then scored in the next at bat via a Pavlick single to third.
