Monigold got going in the first with a two-run shot to key a three-run inning and then smacked another two-run shot in a six-run third inning. Taran Threet also homered to lead off the third.
Tiffany Holt scored the Lady Evangels' run in the bottom of the fifth on a single by Amanda Stevenson.
Amber Tinney pitched well in the nightcap for the Lady Evangels, limiting the Hillcats to only two runs through the first five innings.
After Kaylee Hendon singled home Stevenson in the fifth to make it a one-run game, RSU broke it open in the sixth as a three-run double by Jamie King capped a four-run frame.
