Individual Highlights
  • Sam Ciasullo (Springfield, Pa./Springfield) reached base multiple times in both games as she went 3-for-5 with two hit-by-pitches and an RBI
  • Madison Grubb (Swedesboro, N.J./Kingsway) also a hit in both contests, finishing 3-for-6 with an RBI,

  • Game one starter Kinsley Hall (Frankford, Del./Indian River) produced a quality start, allowing three runs over her seven innings
  • Game two starter Paige Tidaback (Carteret, N.J./St. Thomas Aquinas) also threw a complete game
 
How it Happened
Game One
  • Holy Family jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first as Hobel led off with a single, Grubb sacrificed her to second and Alexis Letizia (Toms River, N.J./Donovan Catholic) (double) and Ciasullo (single) came through with RBI base hits
  • Kutztown did all of its damage in the third, which began with a strikeout before the Golden Bears used three singles and three walks to plate three runs, all of which came with two outs
  • The Tigers had a single in the third, fourth, fifth and six, including one to lead off the first three, but could not push the tying run across
Game Two
  • Batting first, Holy Family erased KU's two-run first with a two-run second
    • Erin Stilton (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Liberty) led off with a double and after a Miller single, Lily Hoban (Millsboro, Del./Indian River) halved the deficit with a sacrifice
    • Following a Gabrielle Wiley (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Moreland) single and the second out, Grubb then came through with an RBI single to tie the score
  • HFU stranded two in the third though, and the Golden Bears closed out the scoring with a two-run homer in the bottom-half despite the Tigers advancing a runner into scoring position in the fifth
