Game 1 (Bowdoin wins, 5-2)

 

How It Happened

• Bowdoin took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but the Continentals tied the score the next time they came to bat. Hadley Rogers '26 led off with a single to left field, moved to second base on an infield error and advanced to third on a base hit. Rogers scored on a two-out infield single by Sofia Santana '26.
• Hamilton grabbed a 2-1 lead with a run in the top of the fourth. Gaby Guerra '27 started the inning with a single up the middle and was replaced by pinch-runner Lauren Farace '29, who stole second. Farace moved to third on a single up the middle by Alison Zorn '26 and scored when Santana reached base on an infield error.
• The Polar Bears were unfazed as they came right back and scored four runs in the bottom of the inning. The Continentals were able to put two runners on base in the sixth and seventh innings, but couldn't get the clutch hit that would have put more pressure on Bowdoin.

 

Notes

• Miranda Mosqueda '28 tied a career high with three hits.

Game 2 (Bowdoin wins, 5-4)

 

How It Happened

• The Polar Bears scored three runs in the bottom of the first and led the whole way.
• The Continentals pulled within 3-2 on Guerra's two-run single in the top of the fourth inning before Bowdoin restored its three-run cushion with a pair in the sixth.
• Hamilton tried to rally in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Lydia Mirabito '26 drew a one-out walk, Mayer singled up the middle, and Mosqueda drove in both runners with a two-out double to the gap in right-center field. With Mosqueda representing the tying run on second base, Sophia Hahn got the next batter to hit a ground ball to the shortstop and end the game.
