Game 1: Springfield 7, Geneseo 6 (8 Innings)

Geneseo scored in the top of the first with an inside the park homerun before a triple from Kate Katsetos (Brewster, N.Y.) brought in Brynlee Eckles (Ellington, Conn.) and Hunter to take a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. The Knights went on to equalize in the top of the second before adding three more runs in the third and the fifth to go up 5-2. 

Madison King (Burlington, Mass.) scored in the bottom of the sixth on a single from DeRosa before a single from King brought in Hunter and Katsetos to tie the game at five and force extra innings.  

Molly Griffin scored for Geneseo in the top of the eighth before DeRosa came up and plated Taylor Falotico (Windsor, Conn.) and Haley Ball (Westbrook, Maine) to walk off the Knights, 7-6. 

Game 2: No. 12 Simpson 13, Springfield 0 (5 Innings)
