Inside the Game
- Things started out well for both pitchers as they setdown their respective opposition in order during the first.
- However, in the top of the second the first five batters provided three singles and a pair of doubles resulting in three runs. A DC error led to the fourth coming home, before a groundout and two flyouts closed things down. The home-half saw Goldman come up with a one out single to left, but a groundout and strikeout prevented a rally from forming.
- After Kohan came up with a clean top of the third, Laia Gwathmey was hit with one away and then advanced to second on a groundout followed by heading to third thanks to a wild pitch. That brought Jane Lloyd to the dish and she collected the Devils first RBI of the day by smacking a single to center.
- Unfortunately for Dickinson, two hits and an error led to the visitors making it 5-1 through four. Then, in the fifth, Emory Hadden took over in the circle for Kohan and immediately gave on up as Emilee Espinoza tripled deep into the outfield, before hustling home on the throw in from the fielder. Hadded then recorded a pair of groundouts appearing to give DC a chance to stay in the game, but three errors, two singles and a wild pitch allowed the Garnet to pick up five more to make it 11-1 heading to the home-half.
- Gwathmey began the last of the frame with a knock to center. However, a double play and groundout capped off the game.
