HOW IT HAPPENED

GAME 1: Indianapolis 

• Both teams went down in order in the first two innings, but with two out in the top of the third, Gianni Lannatone singled home a pair to give the Greyhounds a 2-0 lead. 
• The Greyhounds - preseason favorites to win the Great Lakes Valley Conference and ranked 17th in the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association poll - scored their next three runs on a pair of Trevecca throwing errors, and in the seventh, Indianapolis got an RBI knock from Haylie Foster to cap the scoring and give the Greyhounds the 6-0 win.

GAME 2: Ferris State

• Trevecca opened the scoring on singles from Malone Thrift and Matti Byrd in the top of the second, but the lead was short-lived.
• In the bottom of the inning, Ferris State's Abby Mitchell lifted a two-run homer to left-center that gave the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead, which they carried into the fifth frame.
• In the fifth, Trevecca rallied, plating three runs on only two hits including a game-tying single from Brooke Eakes. 
• Leena Robinson scored the go-ahead run on a Ferris State error, and Eakes scored an insurance run on a squeeze play put down by Sydney McCormick to cap the inning.
