Belgreen 12 – Meek 0 (Game One)
Belgreen struck first in their opening at-bats against Meek. An error and a ground ball helped them take a 2-0 lead. The score remained the same until the top of the third inning, as an RBI single and a three-run home run by the Lady Bulldogs quickly pushed their lead to 6-0. Belgreen continued to add onto their lead in the fifth, as they put up six more runs to take a 12-0 lead. The Lady Tigers went down in order in their half to end the game, as they were held to just four hits in their 12-0 loss to the Lady Bulldogs.
