The Bears now stand at 8-11 for the season, with Addie Graham, Madi Young, and Lilly Hood leading the offense with multiple hits and walks. The team struggled to find timely hits in the game, resulting in just their second home loss of the season.

In the seventh inning, a rally led by Hood, Mortimer, and Veach tied the game at 6-6, but Memphis came back to score in the eighth inning, ultimately sealing the win.
