• The Buccaneers matched the Seahawks in the bottom half with three-runs to retie the contest at 6-6.
• In the bottom of the seventh, with runners on first and second, and two-outs Alyssa Cabral made an amazing diving catch in center on a blooper to keep the game tied and send it into extra innings.
• Cabral was placed on second due to the international tiebreaker rule and moved to third on a Test sacrifice bunt. Figueroa then laced a single through the right side, to give KU the 7-6 advantage.
