How It Happened (Game 1)
 
* With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh, sophomore Callie Chambers delivered a one-out single to center field that scored sophomore Hailey Gamble to give the Nittany Lions a 3-2 walk-off victory.  Gamble forced a one-out walk and advanced to second when senior Megan Tomoney reached on an infield hit to setup Chambers for the game-winning hit.
 
* In the top of the seventh, Penn College appeared to have scored the go-ahead run when a flyball by MacKenzie Weaver was deep enough to score Maddie Hurst from third.  However, on appeal, it was ruled that Hurst left prior to the catch resulting in the final out of the inning.
 
* Abington tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth when a slow ground ball to first base by sophomore Drew Liss was enough for sophomore Gretchen Yanss to score from third.  Liss also had a game-tying hit earlier in the game when she drove in Chambers with a base hit to make the score 1-1 in the bottom of the second.
 
Inside the Box Score (Game 1)
 
* Yanss (10-4) notched her 10th victory of the season as she scattered eight hits and allowed just two runs in seven innings of work.  She finished the game with six strikeouts.  Offensively, Yanss went 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored.
 
* Chambers also had multiple hits in the game as she went 2-for-3 with a run and the game-winning RBI.
 
* Liss went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
 
* For Penn College, Hurst went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a double and three stolen bases.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)
 
* Abington jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the night cap thanks to a four-run first inning.  The first three batters in the inning reached base before Chambers drove in the game's first run with a base hit to right field.  Two batters later, Yanss connected on a two-run double to increase the lead to 3-0.  Senior Maddie Duffy followed with a sacrifice fly that scored Chambers for the final run of the inning.
 
* Abington made it a 5-0 game with another run in the second.  Gamble drove in a run with an infield hit that deflected off the pitcher's glove. 
 
* Penn College got on the board in the third when Jordan Specht drove in a pair of runs with a single to center field. Two innings later, Specht came through again this time with a double to center field that drove in Hurst to make it a 5-3 game.
 
* The Wildcats made things interesting in the seventh as they came within one run of tying the game.  However, freshman Emmalee Myerholtz, with two runners on base, managed to retire the final batter with a fly ball to center field to secure the win for the Nittany Lions.
 
Inside the Box Score (Game 2)
 
*   Myerholtz (3-3) earned her third win of the season as she went the distance holding the Wildcats to three earned runs on six hits.  She finished with a pair of strikeouts.
 
* Yanss added another pair of hits as she went 2-for-3 with two RBI to finish the doubleheader 4-for-6. 
 
* Senior Jenna Gorman went 2-for-3 with a run and a double.
 
* Chambers and Gamble each finished 1-for-2 with a run and an RBI.
 
* For Penn College, Specht went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs.
