Laura Kruczek, Amy Erlandson, Whitney Warren & Theresa Vitale all scored for the DOP 4-0 lead. Blue Ballers 2 responded in their half of the first as Laura Gillings reached base. However, DOP pitcher Kelly Wardner shut the door, facing only three more batters in that inning. In the 2nd inning, DOP looked to add more runs. Despite the successive hits from Miranda Schmitz, Sarah Cooper and Wardner, DOP was un able to score, thanks to solid defense from Ballers.
