A lead-off double for senior first baseman Jordan Waterloo (Waldorf, MD), a walk, and an error, started the Lightning's fourth at-bat. With two more hits the Lightning plated three in the inning, 3-0, before adding five fifth-inning runs on six hits and another Chestnut Hill College (2-28, 2-22) miscue, 8-0. Junior first baseman Giana Cavallo (Turnersville, NJ) singled in the Griffins half of the fourth inning and junior third baseman Mandi Rush (Royersford, PA) doubled in the Griffins final at-bat, but those were the only hits allowed by sophomore pitcher Roni Peters (Leonardtown, PA), who walked one and struck out five in the five-inning victory (9-5).
 
Three base hits landed the Lightning a 2-0 lead in the second inning of game two. They added to their advantage with a four-run fourth inning, 6-0, but the Griffins answered in the bottom of the frame with their first run of the day. A two-out beaming of Cavallo gave the Griffins their first base runner of game two. An O'Neill single and two Lightning errors later, the Griffins made their first appearance on the scoreboard, 6-1. The Griffins would threaten again in the sixth inning with one-out singles from O'Neill and Benson, but following a fielder's choice and a strikeout the rally was no more.
