In game one Pientack went 2-3 with a homer and two runs batted to back the three-hit pitching of Cait Paine (Lebanon/Lebanon) as the Huskies won 8-0 in five innings. With the Huskies leading 2-0 in the bottom of the third, Pientack hit a two-run shot to make it a 4-0 game. Bloomsburg went on to add four runs in the bottom of the fifth to win on the mercy rule.

Along with Pientack, Danielle Lazorka (Williamsport/Jersey Shore) was 2-3 with two doubles and two runs scored, while Paine went 2-2 with a solo homer, two runs scored and two runs batted in.

After Jenna Hampton (Catawissa/Southern Columbia) sacrificed Baer to second, Lori Neyhard (Bloomsburg/Central Columbia) followed with a double with Baer having to stop at third. Baer then scored when Raychelle Kuhns (Williamsport/Loyalsock) reached on a fielder's choice putting runners at the corners. Lacy Mauro (Jersey Shore/Jersey Shore) then followed with a three-run homer to put the Huskies on top 4-1.

Later with the score 5-2 in favor of the Huskies, Pientack homered to center field scoring Raychelle Kuhns (Williamsport/Loyalsock) who had singled to make it 7-2. In the top of the seventh Hampton singled home one run with Kuhns adding a two-run homer to make the final 10-2.
