Plattsburgh 

 
How It Happened
  • Entering the top of the ninth inning with the score tied at 3-3, Tansky was placed on second base and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Jordan Merklin '26. Sofia Santana '26 laid down a bunt and the bases were loaded after a high infield pop-up that stayed fair and allowed Alexis Mayer '26 to take first. Natalie Beebe '24 knocked in Tansky on a fielder's choice and Santana scored on a sacrifice fly by Alison Zorn '26. 
  • The Cardinals plated one run on three hits in the bottom of the ninth. Plattsburgh had the bases loaded with one out, but Tansky dealt her ninth strikeout of the night and forced a fly out to center that ended the game. 
  • Tiebreaker rules were in effect in the top of the eighth inning for Hamilton. Zorn was placed on second, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Charlie Quinn '25 and scored on a single to left field by Ella Heftved '25. 
  • Plattsburgh countered with one run on two hits in the bottom half. 
  • The Continentals struck first with one run in the opening inning on hits by Merklin and Zorn and a fielding error.
