The Indians bats found green in game one, scoring 11 runs in the second inning, then hitting three homeruns in the third inning, one each by Dana Blake, Alexa Guyer, and Sully Downey, and plated another in the fourth, which was answered by an Eagles run on an RBI single by Jessa Devries, but the game ended after the fourth. Ava Tichy got the win in the circle.

Game two saw Indianola plate five unearned runs after a PC error to lead 5-0 in the first, highlighted by a Tichy two-RBI single.
