Olivet added two insurance runs in the fifth inning when juniors Kari Munson (Lansing Eastern High School) and Kim Horanburg (Grand Ledge High School) hit back-to-back doubles to drive in a run a piece. Junior Taneisha Pointer (Lansing Everett High School) scored two runs.
In the second game, Olivet led 4-1 before Kalamazoo scored three unearned runs in the fourth inning to tie the score. The Comets then tallied two runs in the fifth and three more in the seventh for the victory.
