Mia Faddah,
Leilani Jimenez,
Milagros Arias, and
Grace Osuch.
They added a run in the second inning on an RBI walk by
Bridget Campanelli and three more runs in the fourth on an RBI ground out by
Julia Cuttone and a two-run homer by Quint for the commanding 8-0 victory.
On the mound, Quint threw a 2-hitter with five strikeouts for the complete game shutout.
In the second game, the two teams were tied 4-4 after four innings but the visiting Golden Eagles later took the lead in the sixth inning 6-5.
The Bearcats threatened in their final at-bat but came up short in a 6-5 loss.
Megan Bell was busy again batting 2-for-3, with a three-run homer and two runs scored.
