Game 4 – Adams State

There were many highlights in this game – the most notable being Makayla Corbin's five-inning perfect game. The sophomore pitcher would face the minimum 15 batters through five innings of work and strike out two. Corbin lived in the strike zone allowing her defense to work behind her, inducing seven flyouts and six groundouts.

Game 5 – Adams State
The Rambelles were efficient in their second to last game of the tournament as they would score 10 runs with just five hits.

Game 6 – TAMIU
The final game of the George and Ola McCorkle Challenge was a hard fought battle between both teams as the Rambelles would face off against the Dustdevils one last time. Angelo State would be held runless in their first at bat, but would explode for five runs in the bottom of the second led by an Avery Zeigler two run home run. TAMIU would answer with three runs of the own, hold ASU scoreless again, and then scratch two more across to bring the game to a 5-5 tie in the top of the fourth inning. ASU's bats would come alive for five runs in the bottom of the fifth to bring the game to an 11-5 lead. Maleya Burns would hit her first career homerun – a moon shot to left field – that would provide three runs and the bulk of the Rambelles scoring for the inning. Makayla Corbin would hold TAMIU scoreless in the fifth and six and Courtney Barnhill would hit a two RBI double in the bottom of the sixth to bring the finale of the tournament to a 13-5 end.
