Haley Gorman hit the game winning single in the bottom of the seventh to give the Salukis their third victory this fall season.
Gorman went 2-for-3 in the game while Danielle Glosson added four strikeouts to help the Salukis grab the win.
"I just feel fortunate that in the fall we have been able to have a lot of situational work so we've had plays at the plate, rundowns and a lot of things that we can work on come the spring season," Blaylock said.
The Salukis will wrap up their fall season when they travel to Normal, Ill. Oct 2-3 for the State Farm Illinois Collegiate Softball Championship hosted by Illinois State.
