In the first game, the Scots scored five runs in each of the first two innings to take a commanding 10-0 advantage. The highlight of the two frames was the Scots' first home-run of the season, supplied by Jr. 2B/DP Erin Pintek (Flushing, MI/Flushing), who crushed a two-run shot in the first inning.

Sr. P Tara Leddy (Saginaw, MI/Swan Valley) pitched a complete game, giving up three earned runs in the 11-4 victory, improving her season record to 6-0.

Game two started with Bluffton hitting a solo home-run to start the game against Alma starting P Brittany Grys (Portland, MI/Portland) for an early 1-0 lead. However, the deficit was short-lived as the Scots responded on their way to the five-inning 12-1 victory.

Jr. 1B Emily Ross (Buchanan, MI/Buchanan) went three for four with two runs scored and two RBI's for the Scots, while Pintek was two for three with two RBI's. Grys settled down after the initial hit and finished strong, giving up just three hits in five innings, with three strikeouts and no walks.
