How It Happened (Game 1)
 
* Lancaster Bible tied the game at 6-6 with a pair of runs in the top half of the sixth inning before Abington scored the go-ahead run in the bottom half.  The Nittany Lions took advantage of a Lancaster Bible fielding error with two outs in the inning that allowed sophomore Hailey Gamble to score the eventual winning-run. 
 
* Starting pitcher Gretchen Yanss retired the first two batters in the top half of the seventh but back-to-back hits by the Chargers put both the tying run and go-ahead run on base.  Yanss was able to force a groundout to the mound on the next batter to retire the side and secure her ninth win of the season.
 
* Both teams scored in opening inning but back-to-back two run innings by the Nittany Lions gave the home team a 5-1 lead after three.  Senior Jenna Gorman had a two-run single in the second and Yanss recorded a two-run double in the third.
 
* The Chargers scored three runs in the fourth when Amelia Huey cleared the bases with a three-run double that brought Lancaster Bible within one run of the Abington lead at 5-4.
 
Inside the Box Score (Game 1)
 
* Yanss improved to 9-4 as she recorded a complete game victory in which she struck out five batters.  She also went 1-for-3 at the plate with two RBI.
 
* Gorman also drove in a pair of runs as she went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
 
* Senior Megan Tomoney and freshman Jonalynn Hamilton each had multiple hits in the game.  Tomoney finished 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI.  Hamilton went 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI.
 
* For Lancaster Bible, Phoebe Clemens went 3-for-4, while Huey finished 2-for-3 with three RBI.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)

* Abington closed things out with eight runs in the final two frames.  The Nittany Lions broke a 2-2 tie with a four-run fourth inning.  Sophomore Drew Liss led the inning off with a double and was followed with back-to-back hits by Gorman and freshman Emily Foxhill to load the bases.  Gamble came through with a three-run triple to left-center field to give Abington a 5-2 lead.  Gamble scored on a sacrifice fly by Tomoney.
 
* In the bottom of the fifth Gamble struck again this time with a two-run homer.  Gorman scored on the play who earlier in the inning drove in a run with a double down the right field line.  Leading 9-2 later in the inning, senior Maddie Duffy drove in the walk-off run with a single to right field to enforce the mercy rule at 10-2.
 
* Abington jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the first.  Sophomore Callie Chambers drove in both runs with a two-out double to center field.
