After Hawkins settled down in the second to strikeout the side, Geri Anne Glasco hit a solo home run over the right field wall to it 2-1 Utah. Janelle Lindvall would follow with a base hit, but a Utes double play and a ground out would end the second innning threat.
Anissa Urtez for Utah had a big Defensive play to end the second inning catching a fly ball on a sliding catch in right field.

She would turn a 3-2 count to a single past the first baseman scoring two runs and giving Oregon a 3-2 lead with one out in the inning.
