Game 1, L 6-10

How It Happened: The Chargers had the bats rolling early, and KariAnn Mecke hit a single that resulted in three runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, Wilkes followed up with a total of 10 runs between the first three innings, seven coming from the second alone. However, earlier in the third inning, the Chargers were making their effort at a comeback. Riley Danko doubled to send Sheyenne King home, and Mecke followed with another RBI to get Danko home as well. Trailing 5-10 going into the top of the fourth, King hit a sacrifice fly that brought one more run to the scoreboard. However, while the Chargers kept Wilkes scoreless in the final four innings, they were unable to close the gap and lost 10-6.

Wilkes tallied another run in the bottom of the third and, after holding the Chargers to zero in the fourth, added four runs to take a 9-2 lead.
