The Foresters extended their 2-0 lead with a double to right center to score a runner. Marian was able to fight back in the bottom of the fifth with Abby Madere singling into right center to allow Anna Pritchett to advance to third and Abbey Hofmann to score. In the next at bat Lily Wendt singled into left field allowing Pritchett to score and bring the game to a 2-2 bottleneck. In the next inning Jenna Minnix had an infield single to advance Mystic Means to home plate and claim the lead. In the next at bat Hofmann homered into center field to claim the 4-2 lead. Huntington attempted to come back with a single up the middle but three straight ground outs to second ended the game and allowed the Knights to take the 4-2 win in game one.

Abbey Madere led the Knights going 2-2 from the plate with one RBI on the day while Lily Wendt went 2-3 from the plate with one RBI as well. Abbey Hofmann punched the Knights sole home run in game one and went 1-4 from the plate with two runs and one RBI. Wendt and Mystic Means each stole a base for the Knights.
