Game 1: Brooklyn 15, York 0 (5 Inn.)

• York put the pressure on Brooklyn's Danielle Guzzardi (W, 3-16; 5 IP, 2 H, BB, 10 SO) in the top of the first as Shamonie Miller (1-for-2, BB, SB) drew a leadoff walk. 
• After stealing second base three batters later, Miller was left stranded as Guzzardi rebounded by picking up her third strikeout to close out the frame.

• Zoey Van Vleet knocked a two-run single off Mary Cuevas (L, 0-5; 4 IP, 8 H, 12 ER, 11 BB, 3 SO) to push Brooklyn's lead to three before a passed ball and a bases loaded walk provided the Bulldogs with all the scoring needed to make it a 5-0 game.  
• York reached base twice in the second on a pair of Brooklyn fielding miscues, but was promptly relieved by a set of strikeouts.
