Individual Highlights
- Kylee Jones (Hulmeville, Pa./Neshaminy (Rider)), Sam Ciasullo (Springfield, Pa./Springfield), Lauren Hagy (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) and Alexis Letizia (Toms River, N.J./Donovan Catholic) all had two hits and a double in the opener

- Letizia would then go on to hit her first home run of the season in the nightcap, with Ciasullo walking twice
- Carlie Miller (Hermitage, Pa./Hickory) also reached twice via a double and base on balls
- Following the three-run first, Ciasullo surrendered just three hits over the final six innings for her third complete game win of the year in game one
- Paige Tidaback (Carteret, N.J./St. Thomas Aquinas) allowed just one run on two hits in three innings of relief in the nightcap
Inside the Box Score
- Holy Family's six doubles in the opener were its most since it had seven in victory versus Bloomfield on April 27, 2019
How it Happened
Game One
- Letizia led off the second with a double before scoring on an error, and after the second out was recorded Jones (single), Madison Grubb (Swedesboro, N.J./Kingsway) (double) and Ciasullo (double) recorded three consecutive RBI base knocks
- Ciasullo settled in the circle, working 1-2-3 frames in both the second and fourth while stranding the bases loaded in-between in the third
- Hagy led off the third with a double and Jones doubled with one out in the fourth, but the Tigers could not add to their lead until the fifth when Angelina Bresnen (Morrisville, Pa./Conwell Egan) came through with a pinch-hit two-RBI single with two outs
- This came after back-to-back hits by Hagy (single) and Letizia (double) with one out
- Ciasullo worked around an error in the fifth before recording yet another 1-2-3 frame in the sixth
- Post finally strung together a second multi-hit inning in the seventh, cutting the deficit to 4-6 with back-to-back one-out base knocks, but Ciasullo got the final two outs thank in large part to Letizia throwing out a base-runner trying to steal at second
Game Two
- The Eagles followed the six-run first with a four-run second
