The teams will play a single game today at 1 p.m.

Elaine Fisher was the loser in the opener, allowing just one run on six hits with five strikeouts. The Golden Eagles scored their lone run in the fifth.

Lindsay Pickering and Stephanie Huffman hit back-to-back doubles in the second inning for Southeast's lone run in the second game. Huffman was on the mound for the Redhawks and took the loss.
