KEY MOMENTS
Game 1
  • It was a pitchers' duel through four innings as neither team was able to score. Eckerd starter Nikole Van Gennep stranded five runners and struck out six over the first four innings LRU's Brandi Parks stranded three and fanned four.
  • The Bears finally broke through in the top of the fifth scoring four runs on four hits. After a leadoff walk, LRU got a double from Erin Boone and a triple from Savannah Moorefield to take a 2-0 lead.  The Bears later doubled the lead on a two-run, two-out single by Hannah Jennings.
  • Lenoir-Rhyne padded its lead with two more runs in the sixth and three in the seventh off Triton reliever Ally Costa.
  • Eckerd, which had been limited to two hits through the first six innings, strung together three straight singles by Jessica Wilson, Van Gennep, and Hannah Famiano to load the bases with one out. However, all three were stranded as Parks struck out the next two batters to end the game.
Game 2
  • After a 1-2-3 inning by Hannah Perkins in the top of the first, Eckerd got on the board quickly scoring twice in the bottom of the inning. Van Gennep led off with a single and moved to third on an error on a sacrifice bunt by Famiano, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Meredith McGinnis. Famiano came in to score one batter later on another error by the Flames.
  • Back-to-back hits to open the third inning brought in Lee's first run and the Flame tied the game at 2-2 in the fourth on a two-out RBI single by Kiley Longmire.
  • Eckerd threatened in the sixth with runners on first and second with one out after singles by Van Gennep and Kaylin Kramer, but both runners were stranded.
  • The Flames got more clutch two-out hitting in the top of the seventh from Abby McKinney, whose RBI single up the middle drove in the go-ahead run.
  • Eckerd was set down in order in the bottom of the seventh by Shonna Penney to cap her complete-game win.
