Bireet Chitty (Stafford, Va., Brooke Point) was 2-3 with two runs scored and two RBI, and Morgan Lamon (Herndon, Va., Oakton) singled, doubled, scored twice and drove in two runs.

Cunetta took the win, allowing one hit in five innings with seven strikeouts and no walks.

The second game saw the Eagles score one run in the first and widen the margin with a four-run fifth to break open a tight game. Bireet Chitty had two hits and scored twice, while Amanda Adams (Ashburn, Va., Stone Bridge) had a pair of RBI to lead the way for the Eagles.

Nicole Black (Stafford, Va., North Stafford) earned the win for the Eagles with four innings of one-hit relief, with no walks and five strikeouts.
