After a flyout, sophomore Leyri Rivera (Dover, N.J.) put the Eagles in front for good with a base hit to right. Sophomore Brianna Koref (Springfield, N.J.) cleared the bases as she crushed a triple over the head of the rightfielder to extend the Post lead to 6-2.

Game Two – Post 6, Chestnut Hill 3
Post used another high-scoring second inning to grab momentum in game two. Demi Rivera, senior Sara Selimovski (Watertown, Conn.), and McCormack all singled to start the inning. Back-to-back errors led to the first two runs. Freshman Cassidy Petrie (Staten Island, N.Y.) drove in the third run on a base hit to right. Two more miscues put the Eagles in front 5-0.
 
McCormack hit a triple through the right side with one out in the third. Freshman Bridget Betley (Fairfield, N.J.) brought her home with a single to left as Post led 6-0 through three.
