Game One

The Bulldogs were first in the books with a two runs at the bottom of the first inning.  The Raiders narrowed the lead at the top of the second.

The Raiders didnt get back on the board until the seventh inning. Senior Kasey Smith (Hopkinton, N.H.) doubled through the left side and was eventually sent home off a Emma Rousseau ground-rule, RBI. 

Game Two (5 innings)

The Raiders were first on the board this time around.  Junior Katerina St. Angelo (Johnston, R.I.) ripped one down the right side that sent freshman Amanda Atkinson (Mason, N.H.) who was on second base, back to the dugout for the first run of the game.  Dean snuck in two runs before the end of the first inning, taking a one point lead over the Raiders.  Rivier responded at the top of the second off a run scored by sophomore Alyssa Gerardi (Manchester, N.H.).  The Bulldogs responded again off an RBI double. The score at the end of the second inning was 3-2 in favor of the home team.  

However, it was the third inning when the Raiders turned it up.  St. Angelo singled up the middle then Miles and junior Julia Daily (Dracut, Mass.) walked.  With a woman on first and second, Gerardi reached first on a fielders choice and an error by the catcher.  Both Miles and St. Angelo found home earing 2 runs for the Raiders. In the very next play Daily scored on a wild pitch.
