by Shavonne Lord. Jessica Paris had an RBI single in the second

Bowdoin's final run in the third. Kristen Finn took the loss for
the Bobcats after allowing five hits and three earned runs in six
innings.
Sarah Cullen quieted the Bowdoin bats in game two, scattering six
hits over seven innings for the shutout win. Bates scored three

seal the victory. Jacobs took the loss in game two, allowing three
earned runs in three innings. Bowdoin was led by a pair of hits
