In the first game, Ashley Pierce had two hits and Courtnee Peterson drove in a pair of runs as the Lady Golden Falcons held on for a 9-8 victory. Rivera had a triple and drove in a run and Peterson added a single for the winners (6-1).

Waag had a double and drove in three runs; Sage Haskins had single and drove in two runs; and Lyric Westlund had two hits, including a double, for Pine Valley.

All the runs in the opener were scored in the first two innings.
