Sarah Phelps (Ellicott City, MD/Centennial) started the top of the third with a line drive single then would later score with
Katelyn Burdette (Frederick, MD/Walkersville) driving Phelps in. Potomac State would answer back with three runs in the third, four in the fourth, and two more in the sixth to end the game in six innings. Phelps finished the game 2-2 while
Brittney Dix (Elkridge, MD/Long Reach) and
Samantha Hobert (Elkridge, MD/Howard) added a hit with Hobert striking out seven in a solid pitching performance.Â
Game two saw the Catamounts jump out to a 12-0 lead before Hobert drove in
Danielle Thompson (Frederick, MD/Tuscarora) in the fourth inning to get Howard on the board, but that would end up being the only run the Dragons could score in the game. Phelps and Dix each added another hit on the day with
