GAME 1 vs HUSSON: 

Behind a three-run homerun from Kenzie Dore, The Eagles jumped out to an early lead in the first inning and did not look back.

Husson would blow the game open in the fourth inning, scoring seven runs on five hits and three errors. The Eagles would win in five innings by a score of 12-1.

GAME 2 vs THOMAS:

The Terriers responded in the bottom half of the inning, scoring three runs on three hits. 

A sacrifice bunt from Amy DeSena and an RBI single from Kelly Powell pushed the Wildcats lead to 10-3 in the top of the seventh inning.
