In the first game of the day Dartmouth went up 3-0 through the first three innings of play.

Game Two was all Dartmouth as the Big Green scored runs in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings to end the game by virtue of the eight-run rule.

Dartmouth used a six-run fourth inning to put the game away as the Big Green batted around the inning for the first time this season. In the inning, all but one Dartmouth runner came around to score.

Fry was the big hitter in the game going, 3-for-4 with three runs and one RBI. Christy Autin and Chifcian both went 2-for-2 as Autin added two runs and one RBI and Chifcian scored once.
