Game One: Adelphi 5, Wilmington 6

• One inning later, Klepper gave the team a jolt, taking the first pitch she saw over the fence in left-center for a two-run shot.
• The Panthers then put together a three-run rally in the top of the sixth to tie the game. After Klepper laced a double and Amanda Chavarria drew a walk, Fisher delivered a single into center field. The Wildcats' defense then suffered two throwing errors that allowed all three runners to score and even the game.
• In the seventh inning, the opposition used small-ball tactics, including a sacrifice bunt followed by a walk-off squeeze play that the Panthers were unable to defend.

• Ellen Tarjan had two hits in four at-bats while driving in a run.
• Klepper added two hits to her day and scored once.

How it Happened:

• The Wildcats answered in the second to cut the deficit in half, thanks to an RBI double from Rylee Maloney.
• In the following inning, Fisher got ahold of the first pitch she saw and sent it over the fence in left field, extending the lead to 4-1.
• The hosts responded again, tying the game in the bottom of the third. After loading the bases via two hit-by-pitches and a walk, Wilmington strung together three hits to even the score.
• Both pitchers settled in, as neither offense was able to push across a run until the sixth inning, when the Wildcats used back-to-back doubles from Maddie Vollmar and Lane to take the lead.
• The Panthers put the tying run on base in the top of the seventh following a Priest single, but were unable to bring her home.
