The Titans defeated the Vikings 6-0 in the first game as Mandy Hedetniemi-Taylor pitched a complete game shutout, allowing four hits and striking out nine hitters.

Brooke Theisen got things started fast, hitting a two-run home run in the top of the first inning for a 2-0 lead. It was Theisen's first home run of the season.

The Titans would score four times in the third inning to take the 6-0 lead. Hedetniemi-Taylor took it from there for her eighth win of the season. Kayla Domon had a double and a triple, scoring twice and Theisen had a single to go with her home run, scoring twice.

In Game 2, Trinity Howard would toss five no-hit innings for the 9-4 win as Makenzie Fore hit a three-run home run in the second inning. Domon went 3-for-4 and scored twice in the win while Fore had a double and the home run.
