The bats for DuBois helped Scott get a lead as they put up four runs in the first inning. Skylar Ceprish would do her part with two triples and two RBI's. While Cierra O'Shell and Brittney Williams would also add two RBI's each for DuBois as they would take game one, 6-0.
Game two saw starter Brooke Harvey also keep rolling from the circle, as Beaver couldn't find an answer for the DuBois pitchers. Harvey would go the complete game, allowing only five hits, and striking out three batters.
