Game One: Georgian Court 10, Holy Family 5
 
Holy Family scored the first runs of the game with a three run second inning as the Tigers led 3-0 early.  The Tigers received back-to-back singles by freshmen Alexis Daubert (Stratford, N.J./Sterling) and Kristine Casey (Newark, Del./Caravel) to start the inning.  Two batters later senior Lindsey Iden (Rushland, Pa./Council Rock North) came through with a run scoring single up the middle to give the Tigers a 1-0 advantage.

The lead would be short lived as Georgian Court answered right back in its half of the second with one swing of the bat.  With two outs and runners at second and third, sophomore Alyssa Paradiso came through with a three-run homer over the left field fence to tie the game at 3-3.
 
Paradiso's home run sparked the offense as the Lions went on to score ten unanswered runs before the Tigers came back with two in the top half of the seventh inning.
