Marisa Given was 2-for-2 with a double, a home run, and two RBIs to lead the Aggies offensive attack. Alex Sotomayor was also 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI with Frankie Mendoza and Isabella Leon adding RBIs as well.

The Broncos offense consisted of four singles from four different players.
Game 2
Despite picking up just two hits on the game, the Broncos (4-21) were able to get the tying run to the plate in the seventh after an error made it 6-3, but Morgan Modesto flied out to left with runners on the corners to end the game.
After scoring in the first, the Hornets (14-8) put up a run in the third and one in the fourth before taking a 5-0 lead in the fifth on a two-run home run by Suzy Brookshire.
