A single by Jocelyn Baldon and walks to Bailee Aguigui and Jennifer Palmares loaded the bases, and then a three-run triple by Courtney Leyba into the right-center gap unloaded them.

Taylor Lara worked the seventh inning for the Pioneers, pitching a scoreless frame.

In game two against the Hawks, Bailee Glover tossed the first three innings scoreless to match Greer with her fifth win, and then Olivia McWhorter pitched the final two innings,
