With IOWA leading 2-1, this is how the bottom of the 7th inning went (where USF scored 4 of their 5 runs):

1st batter singled
2nd batter popped up (1st out)
3rd batter struck out swinging (2nd out !!!)
4th batter walked (runners on 1st & 2nd)
5th batter walked (bases loaded)
6th batter hit the GRAND SLAM
7th batter grounded out (3rd out)
