Game 1
After a scoreless opening inning, the Valiants erupted for five runs in the second. A home run sparked the scoring, followed by a barrage of base hits that gave the hosts the lead. A two-RBI double in the fifth inning sealed Manhattanville's 7–0 victory.

Game 2
The Valiants' 11 runs came across the opening three innings. A string of singles put Manhattanville up 4-0 after one before a six-run second, headlined by their second home run of the day, brought them to double figures.Â
Vivian Garcia (Eastvale, Calif.) who reached on a fielder's choice early in the fourth inning, scored the Bears' lone run of the day later in the frame.
Scott doubled in the fourth, marking the Bears' lone hit of the contest. Alyssa Garcia (Montebello, Calif.) tossed 2.1 innings as she was dealt the loss.
