Megan Watson, Paige Ouellette, Logan Arsenault, and Alyvia Perrault each had stolen bases for the Mustangs.
After the game, Head Softball Coach, Bruce Robertson stated, "Sage pitched really well today we just did not give her the run support she needed. Both teams had solid pitching and the team to make the first error was going to lose the game and unfortunately it was us. We have to find a way to limit errors. With three errors in game one and four errors in game two it makes it really difficult to win ball games. Game two we got things going a little better. Both Lauryn and Alexis did a fine job in the circle and we hit the ball better in game two, but again errors got us. Once we solve this problem we will be in a better place and put ourselves in better situations to win ball games."
