Deer (7-3) struck out three, walked one and allowed just one extra base hit on the way to pitching her seventh complete game of the season. Anderson got all of the runs it needed in the first. Elisa Sebastyan led off with a double and scored Anderson's first run on a double by Meredith Knox. One batter later, Knox scored on a two-out double by Lora Daniel. Kasey King led off the Anderson second with her fifth home run of the season to increase the AU lead to 3-0. Both teams finished the first game with six hits. Bailey Harrell was 3-for-3 for Mount Olive. Anderson did not have a player in the first game with multiple hits. Anna Turvin, who allowed six hits in six innings, was the loser for Mount Olive. In the second game, Moorhead (5-3) pitched her first complete game of the season. She did not allow an extra base hit, and she stranded nine Mount Olive runners. The second game was scoreless until the third when Anderson got three runs off Mount Olive starter and loser Jenny Jackson. Sebastyan led off the inning with a single. After a one-out walk to Knox, Kayla Williams drilled a double to right to score Sebastyan. After a ground out, Kinsley Durham blooped a single into right field to scored Knox and Williams.
