How it Happened:

Game One:

• Junior Ali Celiberti (Powhatan, Va. / Powhatan) started strong in the circle picking up three strikeouts over the course of the first two innings before helping herself by driving in a run with a double to the right-center gap which scored Davidson. 
• The bottom of the fourth brought more action as Celiberti reached on an error before Taylor Sanderford (Mechanicsville, Va. / Atlee) and Scifres shot back-to-back singles through the hole to load the bases.  Freshman Jessica Pittman (Virginia Beach, Va. / Kempsville High School) hit a sac fly to center to drive in the Jackets second run of the game. 
• The R-MC bats caught fire as senior Brooklyne Carr (Windsor, Va. / Nansemond-Suffolk Academy) singled to drive in pinch runner Cameron Hildebrand (Fincastle, Va. / James River).  Hill followed her up with a double that would score another run before Stone singled to push the R-MC lead to 6-0. 
• From there Celiberti would see out the game picking up two more strikeouts along the way.

• Randolph-Macon picked up where they left off in game one when Scifres doubled in the top of the second inning before junior Kamryn Steinruck (Glen Allen, Va. / Glen Allen) sent a hot shot to center scoring Scifres. 
• R-MC would pick up three more in the top of the third when Hill ripped a leadoff triple to right field before scoring when Stone reached first on an error. 
• Doyle would come to the plate and hammer a ball to straight away center for her second homerun of the weekend.
• In the top of the fifth Scifres would single to left scoring Davidson who had reached on a leadoff single before being bunted over by Sanderford.  Steinruck would draw a walk before freshman Kayla Horesky, pinch hitting, would single to score Scifres.  Hill would single up the middle continuing her strong weekend and scoring two more.
• The offense was on fire but freshman Rilee Baughan (Warsaw, Va. / Rappahannock High School) picked up her first collegiate win, giving up only one hit over the course of five innings and striking out two.
