Down 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning of game one, Christina Gelardi led off with a triple to right center and would eventually reach home after a fielding error from the Falcons. The hit fueled a momentum change as New Haven would go on to record four more runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
Chelsea Harold had a RBI double in the sixth to tie the ballgame at two each. Two batters later, with the bases loaded, two more runs crossed home plate as Gelardi reached first on a fielding error from Bentley. The Chargers would add an insurance run in the sixth as they took game one by the score of 5-2.
