Jenna Bolton started the seventh with a double to left. Following the first out of the inning, Tiara Ewy dropped a base hit into short centerfield and advanced Bolton to third. Kris VanHoosen came in to run for Ewy at first. Ashton Pratt walked to load the bases. Sierra Hall dropped a bunt infront of the pitcher and reached first, but the Bronchos were able to throw out Bolton at home. Katy Remy stepped up and drove a double to right to clear the bases and make the score 7-4. Nicole Nease continued the rally with her 17th home run of the season to make the score 7-6. The last out of the inning lined out to left field to end the inning and the game.
