• Ciasullo cut the deficit to 3-6 with her RBI single, but Shippensburg was able to get the final out

• HFU stranded runners in scoring position in each of its at-bats in the second through sixth though, which finally came back to cost the Tigers when Shippensburg finally got to Ciasullo with all three of its three runs in the fifth
