In the first game, the Lady Dragons of Cameron outlasted the Silver for the 11-1 win. Devinn Moore worked the circle for Consolidated, striking out three, walking one and giving up 12 hits. At the plate, senior Martina Parrish went one for two at the plate with a double and Shandi Long hit two singles.

Jasmine Moore controlled the first position in the game, throwing four strike-outs on her way to a no-hitter. The Knights had six hits in the game, with a double coming from Alex Bubenchik and Parrish with a nice triple.
