Game 1: ENMU 11, Midwestern State 2 (5 inn.)

Eastern New Mexico wasted little time establishing control in the opening game, building an early lead and never looking back en route to the nine-run victory.
 
The Greyhounds struck first in the top of the second inning. Emily Marsh led off with a double before advancing to third on a sacrifice bunt from Ana Paula Oquita. Lorissa Scott followed with an RBI single to center field, plating Marsh to give ENMU a 1-0 advantage.
 
The floodgates opened in the top of the third as Eastern scored six runs on three hits while taking advantage of two Midwestern State errors to build a commanding 7-0 lead. The Mustangs responded with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning to cut the deficit to 7-2, but the Greyhounds answered emphatically in the top of the fourth.
 
ENMU tacked on four more runs in the fourth inning, collecting three hits from Marissa Rodriguez, Oquita and Talia Martin to push the lead to 11-2 and invoke the run rule.
 
Marsh paced the Greyhounds' offensive attack, finishing 3-for-3 with three runs scored. Samantha Parisi also recorded three hits, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Oquita contributed two hits and two RBIs, while Martin, Rodriguez and Scott each added a hit in the victory.

Eastern sent nine batters to the plate in the opening frame, collecting five hits from Parisi (2), Martin, Giazza Lopez and Rodriguez to build a 5-0 lead and force a Midwestern State pitching change. The Mustangs answered with a run in the bottom of the first to trim the deficit to 5-1, but that would be as close as they would get.
