A six-run fourth was the dagger as the Raiders earned the game one win in a 12-3 mercy rule shortened five inning game. The Falcons struck first with a run in the top of the first then Rivier stormed back with three runs in the home half to take command for good.

Sophomore Tayla LeGrand (Tewksbury, Mass.) smacked her first career home run in the first inning, a two run shot down the right field line. She finished the first game going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs scored and five RBI. Junior Kasey Smith (Hopkinton, N.H.) also was a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs scored and two RBI while classmate Jess Silva (Tewksbury, Mass.) added two RBI of her own on her 1-for-3 showing.

Sophomore Courtney Trahan (Brooklyn, Conn.) improved to 1-0 as she went the distance inside the circle as she allowed three runs, two earned, on seven hits and struckout one without issuing a walk.

Fisher's Taylor Rowely was saddled with the loss as she gave up 12 runs, 10 earned, on 10 hits while striking out four batters. Britni Walker and Mikayla Zimmerman each had two-hit games for the Falcons.
