Game 1
Westminster, nursing a one-run lead throughout the entirety of the opener, carried a 4-3 lead into home half of the seventh before Olivia Devries ended it with a two-out, two-run walkoff home run. It was her seventh home run this spring. Freshman right-hander Cheyenne Piper (Latrobe, Pa., Ligonier Valley) took the loss, falling to 12-4 in the circle. She allowed five runs (5 earned) on nine hits with a walk and nine strikeouts in 6.2 innings. It was her fifth game with nine or more strikeouts this season.

Game 2
Allegheny's three-run fourth inning keyed its game two victory. Sofia Genareo opened the scoring with a two-out, two-run home run before Alaina Sharp followed with an RBI double. Jones' two-out, run-scoring double in the fifth cut the lead to two, 3-1, before sophomore shortstop Ava Karpa's (Coraopolis, Pa., Moon) RBI groundout in the top half of the seventh trimmed the lead to one, 3-2.
