Game 1: GSW 1, AUG 5

Augusta started the game strong. Already up 1-0 in the first inning, they loaded the bases and unloaded them with a grand slam to take a 5-0 lead. In the bottom fourth, Zoe Willis was walked with two outs. Katelyn Wood gave GSW their first hit of the day with a RBI double into right center as GSW was aiming for a comeback. Jacie Johns started off the bottom sixth with GSW's second hit with a single up the middle but failed short to score as everyone was retired in order. 

Game 2: GSW 0, AUG 9 (five innings)

Augusta (11-19, 5-7 PBC) kept the bats swinging during Game 2, scoring in three of the five innings to sweep GSW (12-8, 3-3 PBC). Chloe Zoeller was 2-for-2 while Kimmy Singer and Johns both picked up hits for the Lady Hurricanes.
