As a team, the Bison produced 11 RBI with Casey McCullough's five leading the way. Caitlin Mosholder and Keri Schmidt each added three.
Wilson had a seven-run lead entering the bottom of the sixth. The visitors saw their lead evaporate as the Buff and Blue poured in seven runs off 10 hits by the time the seventh inning ended in a 12-12 tie. Neither team could produce any more runs in the extra inning before the game was called.
