TURNING POINT:

Senior pitcher Sabrina Liston (Rehoboth, MA) put the AMCATS ahead for good with a two-run double that scored Costa and pinch-runner Samantha Rintoul-Bonneau (Worcester, MA).
- GAME TWO – The AMCATS never trailed in this game. Scoring in the top of the first inning on an RBI single through the right side by Costa that scored senior second baseman Michelle Cilley (Dracut, MA) who had doubled to right to lead off the game. The Cadets evened the score in the second on a squeeze bunt by for the only run allowed by Liston. In the sixth inning, the AMCATS broke the game open with six runs. The big blow was a bases-clearing three-run double by sophomore right fielder Kiara Edmonds (Lynn, MA).
