The Warriors added two runs in the first inning with a two-RBI single from Wetzel which scored Brown and senior Darci Warriner (Wellsboro, Pa./Wellsboro Area) (2-for-4). Kline's two-run home run scored junior Taylor Gessner (Lewisburg, Pa./Meadowbrook Christian) to hold a 4-0 edge in the third inning. The Warriors added three runs in the fourth inning when senior Lydia Yorks (Jersey Shore, Pa./Jersey Shore Area) scored on an error, and a Wetzel single brought in Kline and Gessner.

The Warriors quickly got four runs in the first inning of the nightcap against Greenville and held on as King got Deicka Holzhauer to fly out to left field with a runner on second to end the game. King scattered four hits and left five runners on base.
 
Two singles by Brown and King and a double from Kline powered the first inning. Brown scored on a ground ball from Gessner and Kline's double brought in Warriner who reached on an error. Kline and Wetzel scored as King singled to right.
