The Boilers scored early and often against the Phoenix, plating four runs in the first, three in the second, and a lone run in both the third and fourth.
Khloe Banks and Moriah Polar led off the game with a pair of back-to-back bunt singles, followed by a walk, and a hit by pitch from Bella Douglas. The Boilers plated their first two runs on a single up the middle from Ashlynn Campbell, before Delaney Reefe doubled later in the inning, which doubled the score.
In the second, Polar struck again, scoring Banks on another single up the middle. Anna Moore, the newly minted Big Ten Freshman of the Week, walked to put two runners aboard for Haley Painter who scored both with a two RBI double.
After reaching on an error in the third, Campbell came around to score on a single from Maura Condon, bringing the Boilers out to an eight-run lead. To add some insurance, Painter added a solo shot in the fourth, which cemented the Boilers 9-0 shutout victory.
Malone Moore went the distance on the mound, pitching a career-high five innings and picking up four strikeouts for her first-career victory.
