GAME 1 L, 7-4

Neither team was able to get on the board until the third inning when the Bulldogs pushed across two runs. The Bulldogs scored five runs in the sixth inning to push their lead to 7-0. Bethel tried to make a run in the seventh inning as they scored four runs with two outs on an RBI single from Olivia Nava and a pair of doubles Dakota Piovesan and Taylor Sanfillippo.
