Game 1 | Indiana Tech 4, UNOH 12
The Warriors started things off on the right foot, scoring the first run of game one as
Emma Kelley grounded out to third base, scoring
Maire Trouba. The Racers would tie the game later on in the third before Tech would extend their lead to 4-1 in the top of the sixth.
Alyssa Fox doubled to center field, bringing home
Meghan Berlin, with Fox later scoring on an error, and then
Kendall Hornung scoring off of a Trouba infield single. However, that would be it for the Warriors in scoring, as UNOH erupted for an 11-run sixth inning, taking the contest 12-4.

Game 2 | Indiana Tech 7, UNOH 10
Indiana Tech again would start off the scoring, this time it was Kenedi Sullivan smacking a two-RBI single to right field, sending Hornung and Trouba home, making it 2-0 in favor of the Orange and Black. UNOH would respond with seven straight runs of their own before Tech could answer back. In the fourth inning, Berlin scored after Trouba reached on a fielder's choice, and then Hornung singled to left field, bringing home Trouba and
Olyvia Notter, keeping the Warriors within striking distance at 5-7. The Racers would then hit a three-run shot in the sixth inning, making it 5-10 in their favor. The Warriors made a great attempt at a comeback in the seventh, with Notter hitting a two-RBI double to center field to make it 10-7, but it wasn't enough as Tech would drop the second contest, 7-10.
Olyvia Notter pitched six innings of work, striking out one Racer batter.Â
