After Audrey Miller opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first, the Rockets' offense exploded for six runs in the bottom of the third inning. Eli Enriquez, Samantha Bolding and Payton Pudlowski each hit RBI doubles during the frame while freshman Jenna Gober fired off her second career home run, a two-run shot to right center, to take a 7-1 lead.
