            The Jennies also committed four errors in the contest.
 
Game 2: Texas A&M-Kingsville 3, Central Missouri 2
            In the second game of the day, the Jennies lost a hard fought contest to Texas A&M-Kingsville, falling 3-2.
            The Jennies got on the board in the bottom of the first when Katie Groves (Bluffdale, Utah) placed a perfect bunt into the infield, allowing Medora West (St. Louis, Mo.) to score and put Central Missouri up, 1-0.
            Texas A&M-Kingsville scored two runs in the top of the fourth inning to regain the lead, going up 2-1.

            The Javelinas scored the go-ahead run when Amber Cherry hit a fielder's choice, allowing Kaycee Bryan to score. Texas A&M-Kingsville then used stifling defense in the bottom of the seventh to pull of the 3-2 victory over the Jennies.
