After getting on board in the top of the first to take the early lead of game one, the EC offense came to life scoring five straight runs to take a 6-0 lead. The Cardinals were able to finally come through with some hits and runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, but it would not enough as Puglisi held off the late surge to secure her eighth victory.

Andrade went 3-for-3 from the plate scoring three runs in the game, while Palmer went 3-for-4 from the plate recording one run and two RBIs.

In game two it was a pitcher's duel with neither team getting very many opportunities to get on the board. However Jessie Smyrski, Cardinal Right Fielder, was able to come through in the bottom of the sixth inning with the game winning homer to right center field.
