The first three innings of Game 1 featured a pitchers duel between the Talons'Georgina Corrickand the Bandits'Lexi Kilfoyl, which many fans expected as Corrick (2.04) and Kilfoyl (2.35) had the lowest ERAs in the entire league entering Saturday. However, the bats got going in the fourth inning as each pitcher went through the lineup a second time. In the top of the fourth inning, the Bandits'Bubba Nickles-Camarenahit a blooper to left field that scoredDelanie Wiszfrom second base for the first run of the game.
