In the first game, St. Lawrence sent 12 batters to the plate in a seven run second inning to go up 7-3. Taylor Armijo keyed the inning with a two run triple that rattled around the right field corner.
 
Playing as the visiting team, Skidmore chipped away with three in the top of the third. Lizette Roman-Johnston drilled an RBI triple down the left field line. Hannah Paolucci worked a two-out 0-2 count into a nine-pitch at bat the culminated in an RBI double. She then scored on an infield error.
