Game 1 vs Seton Hill
It was a very quiet game offensively for both sides as each team had only three hits combined. Wesleyan got their first baserunner in the bottom of the first when Grace Smith singled to right but she would be left stranded. The Griffins had a runner in scoring position in the top of the second on an error, eventually ending the inning with nothing.

A lot of 1-2-3s for both sides and a few walks until the seventh inning when Alyssa Rohr got on with a single. Rohr was left there after a flyout to send the game into extra innings. SHU had runners on first and third with two outs in the top of the eighth, popping up to Kaitlyn Rizor to end their half of the inning.

Taylor Swartz moved the runner over to third on a groundout and Kiley Turner walked it off with a sacrifice fly to right field to win the game.

Nina Grandey, Mackenzie Zang and Camryn Murphy were the only Griffins to get a hit. Lauren Dellet went 7 2/3 innings, giving up one run (unearned) on three hits without a strikeout.

Grace Hightower, Smith and Rohr were able to get a hit off of Dellet with Kiley Turner getting the only RBI of the game. Hannah Hudson pitched an eight-inning gem, surrendering three hits and five strikeouts with only two walks. It was Hudson’s second win of the season.
