Game 1, 8-0 Loss (5 Innings)
How It Happened: The Chargers struggled to gain their footing early, and in the first inning, after failing to post a run, the Wildcats took advantage and nabbed a quick 3-0 lead. While Lancaster Bible had a quick three outs at the top of the inning, they were able to stand firm and hold Penn College runless in the second. In the third inning, the Chargers failed to get a hit again, but following a Penn College run, Phoebe Clemens, KariAnn Mecke, and Carleigh Cleland connected on a double play in response. Unfortunately, the Wildcats squeezed out two more runs to close the inning, making it a six-run deficit for the Chargers. Noelle Martin started the fourth inning on a high note with a single, but no one else could get on base. The Wildcats closed the game out in the fifth inning by adding two more runs, and the Chargers fell 8-0 in five innings played.
 
By the Numbers:
- KariAnn Mecke finished with four putouts and was involved in a double play
- Phoebe Clemens tallied one putout, and three assists and was also involved in a double play
- Noelle Martin had the team's lone hit in two at-bats
- Penn College totaled 12 hits, eight runs, and eight RBIs
