Game One: Keiser 2, Lyon 1
The score remained knotted at zero until the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth, the Seahawks put runners on second and third with nobody out. Keiser University's Janelle Dominguez delivered an RBI single to center field, scoring Lexi Northway. The Seahawks would score another run on a double play, giving Keiser a 2-0 lead heading into the fifth inning.
Lyon responded in the top of the sixth, however, as Addison Harmon led the frame off with an infield single and a stolen base. After a groundout by Cheyenne Herrera advanced Harmon to third, Breanna Langford worked a walk to put runners on the corner. Faith Cornmesser, then, delivered a pinch-hit single to left field, plating Harmon. The Seahawks would work out of trouble, though, keeping the score 2-1.
The Scots were unable to get a rally started in the seventh and went down in order, falling 2-1 to the Seahawks in the first game of the day.
Katelyn Platt led the Scots in the circle. Platt threw all six innings, while striking out four and allowing two unearned runs. Offensively, Addison Harmon and Cheyenne Herrera led the way for the Scots as they both recorded two hits in the game.
Game Two: LSU-Alexandria 8, Lyon 5
LSU-Alexandria opened the scoring in the top of the first inning as the Generals tallied five runs. The Scots would answer back with a couple of their own. Megan Micke led off the bottom of the first with a bunt single and a stolen base. Faith Cornmesser followed with a hit by pitch. After Riley Shaw was also hit by the pitch, Addison Harmon delivered a 2-out 2-RBI single to cut the deficit to three.
In the bottom of the second, the Scots opened the frame with a trio of singles from Kendra Kelley, Siobhan Taylor, and Megan Micke. Faith Cornmesser kept it going as she laid down a perfect bunt for a base hit, scoring Kelley. Cheyenne Black, then, hit an RBI groundout to make the score 5-4 in favor of the Generals heading into the third inning.
The Generals would respond with two runs in the third off an RBI double by Karsen Kreps, who would later come around to score, giving LSU-Alexandria a 7-4 lead.
The score would remain 7-4 entering the top of the seventh inning. The Generals tacked on an insurance run, giving LSU-Alexandria an 8-4 advantage. The Scots would not go down easy, though. Anna Beth Conditt delivered a 2-out RBI single, trimming the lead to three. The Scots brought the tying run to the plate, but the Generals were too much this time as LSU-Alexandria topped Lyon by a score of 8-5.
Faith Cornmesser led the Scots in the circle. Cornmesser threw 6 1/3 innings, while striking out one and allowing two earned runs. Offensively, Addison Harmon, Megan Micke, and Faith Cornmesser led the way for the Scots as each one recorded two hits in the game.
