Game 1: Westminster 2, Geneva 0
Graduate student starter Madison Brown (Lisbon, Ohio | East Liverpool) improved to 7-3 this season with the game one shutout. She scattered five hits and struck out three in the win. Brown also went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice.

Scoreless through four, Westminster senior shortstop Alexis Yates (Oakdale, Pa. | South Fayette) doubled in sophomore pinch runner Danielle Teasdale (Cranberry Township, Pa. | Seneca Valley) before senior left fielder Ashley Wire (Poland, Ohio | Poland Seminary) delivered an RBI single that scored Yates to give the Titans a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth. 

Wire went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base. Senior center fielder Brooke Atkins (New Castle, Pa. | Laurel) finished 2-for-3.

Game 2: Geneva 9, Westminster 7
Westminster got off to a quick start in game two, as senior first baseman Mackenzie Latess (New Castle, Pa. | Laurel) and sophomore catcher Mia Meholick (Dubois, Pa. | Dubois Central Catholic) smacked back-to-back run-producing hits in the first. Latess' RBI double scored Wire after her two-out walk before Meholick drove in Latess. 

Geneva responded with a three-run second, but the Titans reclaimed the lead in third on RBI singles by Latess and junior starter Elizabeth Malczak (Grove City, Pa. | Grove City). 

Tied 4-4 after four, Westminster plated three runs in the fifth to go up 7-4. Yates drove in the first run of the inning and Latess capped the scoring with a two-out, two-run double. 

Geneva went up 8-4 with a four-run sixth before adding an insurance run in the top of the seventh. Julia Hart's three-run double broke things open for the Golden Tornadoes in the sixth before she drilled an RBI double in the seventh.
