Fresno State scored first, plating a run off two hits and an error in the bottom of the first.
After three scoreless innings, Syracuse regained control with a pair of runs off two hits and two errors in the top of the fifth. Watts reached on an error with two outs in the inning and a double by the left field line by Helman scored Watts to tie the game, 1-1. Junior Lisaira Daniels seconded the feat, doubling down the left field line to score Helman and give Syracuse a 2-1 edge.
The Bulldogs evened the playing field with a run off of two hits in the bottom of the fifth and took the lead with another run off two hits in the bottom of the sixth, 3-2. The Orange rose to the challenge in the top of the seventh as Helman doubled to right center, putting the tying run on base before Kohl homered over the left center fence to put Syracuse back on top, 4-3.
