The Hawks went up 3-0 in the first as Mishayla Truttman had a three-run homer to plate Cassandra Carlos and Chelsea Logan.

Howard got on the board in the bottom of the inning when Lorae Robinson scored on a wild pitch for HU.

UMES added a run in the next inning when Hannah Mills scored for the Hawks.

Maryland Eastern Shore led 5-2 in the fourth before the Bison opened up the game with a six-run fourth inning. Saez had a two-run homer and Young followed with a three-run single blast to left center. 

The Lady Bison took a 5-0 lead in the first inning of game two thanks to a three-run home run by Emily Johnson. Saez added a two-run homer later that stanza.

In the fourth, Howard set the table for four more Bison runs. Young singled to the left side and moved Trina Kindred to second before Rebecca Kirshner reached base in the next at bat. With the bases loaded, Saez plated four runs with a grand slam that put the Bison up 9-2.
