ROLLA, Mo.

The Rangers (8-41, 5-25 GLVC) struck first in the series opener, plating a pair of runs in the top of the third inning. Kellie Fenza drove in the contest's opening run, hitting a single to right field to score Paige Schmittling while a Carly Dundee base hit allowed Fenza to score, giving UW-Parkside the 2-0 edge.
 
The Miners (16-35, 6-24 GLVC) tied the game in the fourth, pushing across a pair of runs. Neither team was able to generate runs over the next three innings, forcing extras. Three consecutive singles in the top of the 10^th put UW-Parkside back on top 3-2 but Missouri S&T tallied two scores in the bottom of the 10^th with a walkoff single giving the Miners the 4-3 victory.
