Leading 4-0 thanks to a superb defense that rendered Zapata scoreless until the 5th inning where the Lady Hawks picked up their first run of the ball game. In the sixth, Zapata responded with three runs to tie the game up at 4-4. With two great teams, 7 innings of high intensity softball was not enough as Game 1 went to nine innings where the Lionettes won on a walkoff two-RBI Double by Railee Carvajal.
