McKenzie Jewell drove in three runs in the game as Alanna O'Brien came into the game in relief and picked up the win.

In Game 2, the Titans scored twice in the top of the first inning as Kyla Leppin had an RBI single and Jewell hit a sacrifice fly. But Miami Dade College would score three times in the bottom of the first to take the lead. The Titans would tie the game 3-3 in the top of the second but Miami Dade scored twice in the third to take the lead. Miami Dade would continue to add to their lead and earn the split.
