Concordia would add two runs in the bottom of the sixth to lead 6-1. But, then the strange things happened for the Bobcats in the top of the seventh.
 
After the first out of the inning, Brittany Harward (Orem, Utah) singled to third base. Quick reached on a fielding error with Harward advancing to second.
