Game 1: Millersville 11, Shippensburg 2
 
Millersville struck first with three runs on just one hit in the top of the first. The Marauders loaded the bases on two walks and an error, and then delivered a bases-loaded walk, an RBI-infield single and a hit by pitch with the bases loaded a 3-0 lead. Sophomore Emma Flattery came out of the bullpen in the first inning to get the Raiders out of the jam and threw 2.1 innings, striking out five and allowing three hits.
 
Junior Hannah Palinkas threw 3.1 innings and struck out five Marauders – one shy of her career high. Leber got the final two outs in the circle, including one strikeout.
 
The Marauders took an 8-0 lead in the fourth inning on a three-run triple by Sam Fried. Entering the bottom of the fifth, and in danger of the run rule taking effect, the Raiders struck back with a pair of runs. A pair of singles by Marsteller and Lindsay and a walk by Minney loaded the bases with two outs. Leber then hit a two-run single to left-center to reduce the deficit to 8-2.

Redshirt-sophomore Maddie Uschock started in the circle for the Raiders and threw 3.1 innings and allowed four hits while striking out four.
