That first inning featured four hits, beginning with back-to-back one out singles by Jaden Kelly (West Deptford, N.J./West Deptford) and Lily Hoban (Millsboro, Del./Indian River). Kylee Jones (Hulmeville, Pa./Neshaminy (Rider)) highlighted the frame with a bases-clearing triple, before Olivia Croge (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill West) put a stamp on it with an RBI single. 
 
GBC halved the deficit in the third, but the Tigers countered with a run in the fourth, fifth and sixth as Hoban, Rachel Allen (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy (Elizabethtown)) and Madison Grubb (Swedesboro, N.J./Kingsway) all produced RBI singles, with Rylee Hobel (Coopersburg, Pa./Southern Lehigh) scoring twice.
