Game one started off as a pitchers' dual as both starters would pitch three up, three down innings in the 1st and 2nd.

North Greenville was able to break the game open in the 4th as five runs would score including a two-RBI single by Callie Trapp. Tusculum would finally get on the board with two runs in the 5th. The Crusaders responded with an insurance run in the 7th by way of an RBI double by Karley Green, which would prove to be important as the Pioneers were able to make things interesting with three runs scored to cut the deficit to two. However, Karley Green would end the game with a strikeout to preserve the win.

Game two began with a two run first inning by Tusculum. NGU would claim the lead in the top of the 3rd with four runs including a two-run home run by Emily Dawson.
