In the first game of the day, the Jennies jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first with agressive base running as SBU gunned down a runner attempting to steal second, but UCM sent the runner home from third to take the 1-0 lead. The Bearcats responded in the bottom half of the inning when Rachel Ray drew a one out walk, stole second, and came home on a single from Dana Graves to tie the game at 1-1. However, SBU was unable to plate another run as they would eventually fall 3-1 in the first game of the day. In the circle Kacey Ayers threw a strong game, going 7.0 innings while picking up four strikeouts in the loss. In game two the Bearcats were unable to get on the scoreboard as they fell 5-0 despite a pair of hits and a walk from Ray.
