Fiona Johnson (Derwood, Md./Magruder) led McDaniel in the opener, scattering seven hits and striking out four for the complete-game win. Jamie Weisser (Chappaqua, N.Y./Horace Greeley) backed her up with another solid outing in game two, allowing just four hits in the five-inning victory.

Tied at 1-all in game one, Morgan Scardina (Pasadena, Md./Seton Keough) doubled off the fence to lead off the sixth before moving to third on a sacrifice bunt and scoring on a sacrifice fly in foul territory for a 2-1 lead.

With one out in the seventh, Olivia Kipe (Manchester, Md./Manchester Valley) singled through the left side before scoring on Alicia Wagner's (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch) first career triple to set the final margin.

A Lindsey Miller (Gettysburg, Pa./New Oxford) double and Payton Lewis (Valrico, Fla./Durant) single staked the Green Terror to a 1-0 lead in the fourth.

Segal led off the home fifth with a double before taking third on a sacrifice and scoring on a Marit Vike safety squeeze that went for a hit, tying the game at 1-all.

McDaniel then sent 11 batters to the plate in the fourth inning, plating six runs to break the game open. Kaitlin Yealy (Littlestown, Pa./Littlestown) led off the frame with a single before later adding a two-run base knock up the middle.

An Emilie Morse double, passed ball and Segel single up the middle made it a 9-2 game in the bottom of the fourth.

Megan Coyle (Las Vegas, Nev./Bishop Gorman) rapped a one-out double down the line before taking third on a fly out and scoring on a passed ball to reestablish the eight-run lead.

Tayler Hishon (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) tripled with two outs before scoring on an error for the final margin.
