WSU put another run on the board in the fourth when UC Riverside pitcher Taylor Alvarez hit the batter to walk in a run with the bases loaded. The Wildcats extended their lead in the fifth when Jazmine Thompson tripled to bring in a run.
A home run to centerfield by Kayla White off relief pitcher Kylee Colvin, put the Highlanders on the board in the sixth, and led to their six-run seventh inning to earn the win.
