In the fourth UMBC added the eventual gamewinner when Jen SanFilipo reached on a fielder’s choice that allowed Tara Lindsey to cross the plate.
The Mount rallied for a run in the bottom of the sixth as Eileen Williams scored on a wild pitch. The Mount’s Reanna Tuczynski went the distance on the mound but took the loss to fall to 5-7 on the year.
