Game One vs. Mid-Continent
Belhaven (8-0) took advantage of a number of miscues by Mid-Continent in the first game of the afternoon.

Belhaven added to their lead in the third inning scoring four times with just two hits. The Cougars committed five costly errors as the Blazers seized control of the game. Belhaven tacked on two more runs in the fourth as the result of two more Mid-Continent errors and then ended the game in bottom of the fifth when Tiffany Ansley doubled, went to third on a groundout by Heather Pace, and eventually scored on a wild pitch.

Rousseau picked up her third win of the season and is now 3-0 in the circle for Belhaven after working all five innings allowing only two hits while striking out two. Christina Jaques led the Belhaven offense with two hits and Webb's home run produced the only RBI of the game. Meagan Wilson took the loss pitching 4.1 innings with all eight runs allowed. However, only three of the runs were earned.

Game Two vs. Williams Baptist
