The Shockers were one out away from securing a victory from the no. 12 Louisiana State University. With two outs in the seventh, pitcher Katie Malone had her pitch chopped into the dirt and bounced back to her; with the last out a throw to first, Malone made an error, throwing the ball over the head of first basemen with the tying run headed home.
The Shockers played just their second home game of the season, resulting in a 4-3 loss in front of a record crowd. Wilkins Stadium was packed with a sold-out 1,115 fans.
LSU ignited the offense first, in the top of the second.
