Purchase wasted no time, getting on the board in the first inning with a solo home run by Sariah Sanchez (FY/Eastvale, CA). Kelly Jennings (JR/Yorktown Heights, NY) followed with an RBI single to score Tyler Salerno (SO/Kings Park, NY), putting the Panthers up 2-0.

The Panthers kept their foot on the gas, adding four runs in the second inning. Devynn Hernandez (SO/Ossining, NY) and Halle Greaige (SO/Rye Brook, NY) both scored on sacrifice flies, and Sanchez tripled in a run to make it 5-0.

In the third, Purchase continued its onslaught. Greaige singled in a run, and then Arielle Reddick (FY/Fishkill, NY) launched a three-run homer, bringing the score to 10-0. Sanchez then followed with a two-run shot, extending the lead to 12-0.

The Panthers wrapped up their scoring in the fourth and fifth innings. Reddick hit her second home run of the game, a three-run blast, followed by a pair of unearned runs.
