In game #1, of the afternoon, Faith Hicks and Brianna Grogg turned in impressive offensive performances, but their efforts were not enough to prevent their team from suffering a tough loss.

Hicks led the way at the plate, going 2 for 3 with a double, a single, and a run scored. She consistently put the ball in play and used her speed to generate scoring opportunities for her team. Grogg was also impressive, going 2 for 3 with a double, showing off her power and ability to drive the ball to the gaps.

Unfortunately, despite the strong showing by Hicks and Grogg, their team struggled to generate offense against a tough opponent. They were held to just one run, a deficit that proved too large to overcome. The team's pitching and defense also struggled. Herkimer started strong in the first inning with four hits, followed by a walk. The Hawks allowed four runs in the first making it difficult to mount a comeback. Ultimately, MV gave up nine runs over seven innings.

Herkimer came out with a bang. Neff allowed four hits and a walk, leading to four earned runs.

Despite the efforts of Emmons, Grogg, and O'Connell, their team fell short in the end, losing by a score of 7-4. The team's pitching and defense struggled to contain the opposing team's offense, allowing too many runs to be scored.

While the loss is disappointing, the strong offensive performances by Emmons, Grogg, and O'Connell provide a silver lining for their team. Their teammates and coaches will look to them for continued offensive production in future games, and they will undoubtedly continue to be key players for their team moving forward.
