WHAT HAPPENED
Game 1 
  • The Eagles got on the board first in the bottom of the 3rd as Ashley Westbrooks sent a single to right center to score A.G. Gardner for a 1-0 lead.
  • GWU's Kaylee Wacaster knocked a two-RBI home run in the top of the 4th to gain the lead, but the Eagles answered in the bottom half of the inning combining a GWU fielding error and a Tori Walker single RBI to tie the game at 2-2.
  • The squads would remain deadlocked until GWU's Rachel Cumiskey sent a solo homer over the fence for the 3-2 lead the Eagles would be unable to overcome, failing to get a baserunner on in the final three innings.
Game 2 
  • Gardner-Webb struck first with a sac fly RBI by Weslyn Almond in the 2nd. The lead didn't last long – Ansley Gilreath took a leadoff walk to get things going, with Jill Derrick coming in as a pinch runner. A Madyson Watson sacrifice bunt would send Derrick to second, then Blake Wallert sent a single to third to get runners on the corners.
  • Wallert stole second, then a throwing error would allow her to get to third and Derrick home for a run. Wallert would later score, giving the Eagles an early 2-1 lead.
  • The offensive day would continue as GWU added two in the 3rd and Winthrop answered with three runs to maintain a 5-3 lead. Gilreath blasted a three-run homer to left for the score.
  • After a scoreless 4th, the scoring would pick up in the 5th. GWU plated one to pull within a 5-4 margin, but the Eagles took advantage of Bulldog defensive struggles to get three across in the bottom half of the 5th to push the lead to 8-4, including an RBI single by Shayna Covington.
  • GWU would get runners to second and third in the 6th, but the Eagles would hold them to just one run scored, to keep the margin 8-5.
 
EXTRA BASES
  • In each game, the team scoring first ended up on the losing end of the final score.
  • Kylie Majette threw a complete game in game one, allowing just three hits and notching four strikeouts, but the Eagles came up just short for the win.  
  • Madyson Watson improved to 5-5 on the season with a complete game in game two.
