Salem struggled to generate offense in the first game, managing just three hits in the contest. Brooke Wise, Jacobi Gledhill, and Alyssa Schultz each recorded a hit to account for the Tigers' offensive output.

Salem took the lead in the third inning as Kendall Lemley delivered an RBI single, helping her own cause and putting the Tigers in front for good.

They added an insurance run in the fourth inning when Ali Shrieve drove in Alyssa Schultz, extending the lead to 3-1.
