GAME ONE
The Golden Rams got off a quick start against Parker getting a leadoff single from Jennifer Norris, who then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Jessica Shuck then delivered a run scoring double to left center for a 1-0 West Chester lead. Parker, though, got out of further trouble retiring the next two hitters.
 
The Huskies came back and scored twice in the top of the third to take the lead. Lea Rehm (Bloomsburg/Bloomsburg) began the inning reaching base on a wild pitch after striking out. Rachel Fredell (Dingmans Ferry/Delaware Valley) then singled with Rehm going to second. Mandi Baer (Douglassville/Daniel Boone) then singled to left scoring Rehm to make it 2-1 with Fredell taking third on the throw. Erika Yanora (Tunkhannock/Tunkhannock) then reached on a fielder's choice with Fredell scoring to give the Huskies a 2-1 lead.
 
Bloomsburg tacked on a run in the top of the fourth inning when Chrissy Belko (Old Forge/Old Forge) and Hannah Moir (Mount Laurel, NJ/Lenape ) singled to start the inning. Rehm's ground out to shortstop put runners at second and third before Fredell grounded out scoring Belko for a 3-1 lead.
 
In the fifth inning with two outs Parker gave herself some insurance hitting a solo homer making it a 4-1 game. In the circle she was solid down the stretch allowing just one hit and stranding three runners over the final three innings.
 
For the game Parker allowed just five hits, gave up one run, while walking two and striking out four. She also finished 2-4 with a double and home run, while Baer finished 2-4 with an RBI.
 
GAME TWO
Scoreless through the first two innings, West Chester broke through in the bottom of the third. After Huskies' pitcher Sarah Bertoni (Nanticoke/Greater Nanticoke Area) got the first two outs by strikeout Jessica Norris doubled and scored on a single by Megan Kelly.
 
The Huskies answered in the top of the fifth inning scoring two runs on four hits. Kayla McHale (Dillsburg/Northern) led off with a single and moved to second on a bunt by Belko.  Moir followed with a single to put runners at the corners with one out. After a West Chester pitching change, Rehm followed with a single scoring McHale. Mandi Black (Huntington Mills/Northwest Area) then delivered a single to left scoring Moir and giving the Huskies a 2-1 advantage.
 
Bloomsburg threatened for more in the top of the seventh. Belko and Moir had back-to-back singles leading off the inning and moved to second and third on a sacrifice bunt by Rehm. Belko was then erased at home on a grounder to short by Black with Baer also grounding out to end the inning.
 
In the bottom of the seventh the Golden Rams put runners at first and second with one out. Rehm then got injured causing about a 10-minute delay. Charlotte Conway then singled to tie the game at 2-2. Norris then hit a solid liner up the middle plating the winning run.
 
Parker suffered the loss in relief of Bertoni, while Moir led the offense for Bloomsburg going 2-3 with a run scored.
