Game one was flying by with just one base runner until the bottom of the third inning. Piedmont was able to plate two runs after three singles in the inning to take a 2-0 lead.
The Lions added one more in the fourth before a pair in the fifth made it 5-0 Lions. The Scotties' only other base runner came in the fifth after a leadoff walk, but Steinmeyer continued to cruise.
Piedmont left no doubt ending the game in six after three runs on five hits in the home half of the sixth to earn the run rule victory.

Agnes Scott was first to strike in game two as they drove in one run on three hits in the first inning.
