Both teams were strong in the circle. State College pitchers struck out eight, while Central Dauphin sat down 12.

The Lady Rams opened the scoring in the second after scoring one run.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Lady Lions went back into the lead after Gaby McTavish doubled, and Mellott singled, each scoring one run.
