Game One
Stetson 5, Presbyterian College 1
The Blue Hose finished their 5-1 loss to Stetson in their opening game of the tournament with just two hits. Both of their hits in the game did not come until the top of the sixth inning.
Stetson pitcher Amanda Lindsey (8-6) had held PC batters hitless until Jenny Box (Fruitland Park, Fla.) singled to center field to get things going for the Blue Hose offensively in the sixth. After Box stole second, PC's Amanda Miller (Orlando, Fla.) was able to double to left field to bring in Box.
It would be all the offense PC could muster in the contest and the Hatters would earn the victory.

Lindsey pitched all seven innings for Stetson from the circle, striking out seven. Mary Gordon (Vernon, Conn.) fell to 5-5 with the loss. Gordon fanned two Hatters.
