Lexy Moore was then brought on after Whittemore couldn't complete the innings, resulting in another fielder's choice with a put-out at home.
Joelene Graham was next up to the plate, and she was able to hit a single to left which brought the runner home and collect her fifth RBI of the year.
Purdue looked to force extras in the seventh bringing in Kristin Morgan as a pinch hitter to open the inning she hit a double to second before a bunt advanced pinch runner MaryBeth Pavlick.
A fly out was unable to advance the runner before UTSA loaded up the bases but Lindsey Rains couldn't find the single needed to level the game as she flied out to center.
