Game 1 – Anderson (S.C.) 3, Limestone 0
Limestone matched Anderson through the early innings, but a pair of solo home runs and timely sacrifice hitting proved the difference as the Saints were held scoreless despite tallying six hits.
Anderson broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a solo shot by L. Brakovec and added insurance in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and again in the sixth with Brakovec's second homer of the game.
The Saints threatened early in the bottom of the first as Tayler Jenkins reached on a walk and advanced to third, but she was caught in a rundown at home on a steal attempt. Despite solid contact throughout the game, Limestone stranded six runners on base, including two in both the second and fifth innings.
Limestone's bats produced six hits, but they were unable to string together consecutive offense to convert runs.
Stonesifer pitched well despite the loss, working a complete game while limiting Anderson to just three runs.
