Game One - Messiah 11, Dickinson 5
The Falcons scored 10 runs through the first four innings on their way to an 11-5 victory in Game One. 

Messiah took advantage of some early mistakes by the Red Devils as Carrie Fix and Brooke Pompeo both reached base safely thanks to separate errors. Becky Notte knocked in both runners in with her first of three doubles, then followed it up by stealing third base. Amanda Jones slapped a ball to second base to bring Notte home, putting the Falcons up 3-0. 

The Falcons picked up in the next inning right where they left off when Emily Quatrale led off with a double. Nicole Blantz followed with an infield hit to put runnings on first and third, and Amber Bingaman then grounded out to bring Quatrale home. Shannon Denny then singled to bring Blantz home, and another double from Notte brought the score to 6-0. 

Messiah did most of their damage in the fourth as Notte knocked her third double of the game, scoring Courtney Allen and Amber Bingaman. Quatrale and Blantz picked up the other two RBI in the inning.  

Becky Notte undoubtedly led the charge as she finished 4-4 with three doubles and five RBI's. Five different Falcons collected the remaining five RBI's, highlighted by Emily Quatrale, who finished 3-4 with a double, and Shannon Denney who went 2-3 with three runs scored. 

Claressa Mees earned the win for Messiah as she went five innings, giving up five hits, three earned, and striking out three along the way.
