Tied at 1-all late in the top of the seventh inning with two outs, sophomore Justus Perry battled her way to a base on balls to put the go-ahead run on first. Rivera, a sophomore from Eagle Lake, Fla. then capitalized on the situation as she turned on the first pitch she saw to give the Tigers the decisive 3-1 advantage.
The contest was a low-scoring affair for the majority of the game as starters Kaylee Carlson and Kaitlyn Lee exchanged five scoreless innings of work. Carlson ultimately won the battle to improve to 15-1 on the season, moving her to 61 career wins at Auburn.
