How It Happened (Game 1)

* In the top half of the fifth, Jenna Gorman led the inning off with a single for Abington.  She moved into scoring position two batters later after a sacrifice bunt by Gretchen Yanss.  The inning ended with Gorman stranded at second base.

How It Happened (Game 2)
 
* In game two, pitching once again took center stage.  Penn College scored the game's lone run in the bottom of the sixth inning.  A sacrifice fly by Margaret Mangene scored Madison Shaffer.
 
* Earlier in the game, Abington had a chance to take an early lead.  Hailey Gamble led the inning off with a double to left field.  She then advanced to third on a groundout but was left stranded by innings end.
