Morvian's Briana DiCandeloro added a pair of RBI doubles while teammate Maddisen Bieder hit a solo home run in the fourth.

Gwynedd crossed their run in the fourth when Baumeieter scored from second on a wild throw to third off a fielder's choice in Condurso's at-bat.

Baumeister and Moria Ryan collected the two hits in game two as Moravian totaled 17 hits. Ryan's RBI infield single in the fifth plated pinch runner Mia Doto.
