Inside the Game
- Starting pitching was the name of the game early as Abby Kohan and Lexi Waring made it through the first two innings unscathed.
- A walk, single and an error had the bags juiced for the visitors with no one out in the top of the third. Renee Laczkowski drove home one when she reached on another DC miscue, before a sacrifice fly by Abby Todd made it 2-0 heading to the home-half. Walks to both Jessie Sandusky and Jane Lloyd coupled with a base hit for Goldman had the bases packed with Devils and two out. Amelia Plescia was then hit by a pitch to drive home one. Kohan plated a pair with a single to right and Aubrey Coyle added an RBI knock to left giving DC a 4-2 edge entering the fourth.
- Gettysburg tied the game during the top of fourth at 4-4 thanks to a pair of doubles and a free pass. That closed the day for Kohan as she was replaced in the circle by Emory Hadden. She would then get a ground out off the bat of Laczkowski to retire the side. Katie Laplaunt took over in the circle for Waring and immediately gave up a double to Sandusky and an RBI single by Aubrey Gilbert to reclaim the lead 5-4. Two batters later Goldman picked up an RBI single stretching the gap to 6-4 after four.
- Dickinson would add one more in the last of the sixth courtesy of base hits for Gilbert and Goldman to take a 7-4 edge into last call for the visitors.
- Hadden closed out the game with two fly outs and a ground out to seal up the win.

Inside the Game
- The Bullets got to starter Erin McMahon right away as a leadoff walk to Jamie Shaw set the stage for RBI base hits for Laczkowski and Lily Mader making it 2-0. Dickinson had a chance to respond in the home-half as walks to Sandusky, McMahon and Goldman loaded the bases with two away. However, Plescia struck out swinging to retire the side.
- The score stayed that way until the top of the third when a triple, double and single in the first three batters extended the advantage to 4-0. That sent Hadden into the circle for McMahon. She allowed two singles and a two-baggers stretching the margin to 6-0 through three.
- In the fifth, Mader reached on an error before triples from Zoe Brennan and Elie Lardiere resulted in plating two more (8-0). Dickinson finally cracked the scoreboard during the last of the frame when back-to-back doubles between Sandusky and Gilbert made it 8-1. Unfortunately, the trio of Lloyd, McMahon and Goldman were then setdown in order to retire the side.
