Game 1: Manhattan 8, Saint Peter's 0 (5 innings)
- Starting pitcher Jessie Rising (Little Egg Harbor, NJ / Pinelands) let up just one-hit in 5.0 innings pitched in game one. She walked one batter and struck out five on her way to her first shutout of the season.
- Pitney opened scoring for Manhattan with her MAAC-leading ninth home run of the season in the bottom of the first inning.
- The Jaspers broke the game open in the second, when Rising doubled to left field, scoring two to make it 3-0. Megan Gillooley (Clifton Park, NY / Shenendehowa) then singled to short to send Rising home, putting the Jaspers up 4-0.
- Rising notched her third RBI in the fifth inning with a single to right field. Her three in the game led all players.
- Gillooley then grounded out to second base to drive in Christine Gebhardt (Middletown, NJ / Middletown North) from third, followed by single from Kat Prevo (San Diego, CA / Our Lady of Peace) that sent the Jaspers' last two runs home and ended the game under the eight-run rule.
- In addition to Rising's three RBI, Gillooley and Prevo also picked up two.
- Rising (6-8) faced just 17 batters in the game.
- Game two began much like the first, with the Jaspers opening scoring in the first when Daniela Chiorazzi (Stony Point, NY / North Rockland) hit a sacrifice fly to left field for an RBI.
- In the third, Gebhardt notched a ground-rule double to right center to give the Jaspers a 2-0 lead.
- Annie Moore (Northridge, CA / El Camino Real) nabbed her 10th double of the season in the fifth for an RBI. The hit started a six-run offensive rally that helped the Jaspers run-rule the second game.
- Moore drove in the final run of the game after she was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to send the Jaspers' eighth run home.
- Kayla McDermott (6-10) started the game for Manhattan, earning her second shutout of the year. In 5.0 innings she let up just two hits and struck out five of 20 batters faced.
