In the first, Erika Bell hit an RBI single to plate Alaina Koutsogiani. Taylor Rhinehart followed that up with a triple to score Bell.
The Golden Grizzles cracked the run column at the bottom of the second as Shannon Carr singled to make it 2-1.
In the bottom of the third, Rachael Rhinehart relieved Jane Garver as she got out of the bases-loaded jam.
In the fifth, Taylor Rhinehart doubled to make it 4-1 Colonials.
But in the bottom of the sixth, Madison Jones tied the game up with a two-triple. The Golden Grizzlies were also able to take the lead with a sac fly by Cammie Brummitt.
As the Colonials’ season ends, they finished with their first 30-win season since 2013.
With the win, Oakland will now advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2015.
