The offensive outburst was highlighted by a two-run homer by Courtney Totte in the top of the first and a two-run double by newcomer Shallan Watson.
Defensively, Chelsea Barclay got the start for the Cowgirls, giving up nine runs in five innings of work, but Jessica Hoppock relieved the newcomer to earn the save.
In the first game of the day, Hoppock guided the Cowgirls to a 4-0 victory, by one hitting Seminole. Kelsie Gilmore hit a single in the top of the sixth to end the no-hit bid.
