The Rundown
The Saints came out hot off the mound, managing to allow just three hits in game one. The Carroll defense held the Knights scoreless for four innings before
Devinne Amesquita managed to cross the plate on a
Paityn Willoughby sac fly.
Â
The game was knotted at 1-1 through the six-and-a-half innings, looking like a repeat of the day prior but with two outs and one on base, Carroll's Amber Brewer stepped to the play for the walk-off single to bring in the game-winning run. The Saints had snuck a conference win from the Knights. Â

Knights Freshman pitcher,
Abby Carlson picked up another win with a 2-0 victory in game two. The Portland native threw a complete, 2-run, shutout game on 23 Carroll At-Bats.

The two Warner Pac runs came from a strong third inning with the likes of a
Payton Hergert 1 RBI double followed by a
Devinne Amesquita 1 RBI single.
Â
The Knight defense took care of their business keeping the Saints from crossing the plate for those seven innings.
