Aimee Fisher (Hamburg/Frontier) suffered her first loss of the season, allowing eight hits and seven earned runs, while striking out eight.

Buffalo State pounded 10 hits in the late game, and never trailed en route to the 7-3 victory. Jordan Banach (Cheektowaga/Maryvale) broke out of a recent slump, going 3 for 3 with a double and two runs. Hutten was 2 for 4 with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs. Jolene Banach (Cheektowaga/Maryvale) went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Nicole Sabuda (Orchard Park/Orchard Park) earned the win on the mound, scattering seven hits and allowing no earned runs.
