Orlando, FL - Riv took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th inning only to allow the Lions to tie the game in the bottom of the frame. The Raiders gave up single runs in both the 5th and 6th before some late-inning heroics sent the game to extra innings. Trailing 3-1 in the 7th, freshman Jess Barth got the rally started with a single. After a Penn State error put runners on first and second, the home team was able to re-group and get the next 2 outs on a strikeout and groundout. Juniors Monica White and Jess Mellen followed with clutch 2-out RBI singles to tie the game at 3. Senior Jenna Beadle plated the game-winning run in the 8th with an RBI double down the left field line. Monica White went the full 8 innings in picking up her 2nd win of the season. She got banged around for 10 hits but hung tough and was able to strike out 14 Lion batters.
 
Game 2 saw Penn State draw first bloood as they plated a run with 2 outs in the opening frame. Riv wasted little time responding as Monica White scorched a triple to right field and then scored on a wild pitch. The Raiders put the game out of reach as they erupted for 7 runs on 5 hits (including a 2-run bomb over the fence from sophomore Kelsy LaRose) in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Junior Alexa Feener picked up her 1st win of the season as she went 5.1 innings while scattering 5 hits and striking out 10. Monica White came on in relief and gave up 0 hits and 0 runs in 1.2 innings of work.
