Cortland 8, Hamilton 5
 
Cortland scored three times in the bottom of the fifth to erase a 5-3 deficit, and the Red Dragons added two insurance runs in the sixth. Diane Cork (Wayland/Wayland-Cohocton) finished 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI and Carrie Stoddard (Liverpool) was 1-for-3 with a two-run double.
 
Olivia Gazdz and Liz Brautigam each went 2-for-4 and Hannah Staab doubled and drove in two runs for the Continentals (0-2).
 
Cortland jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first. With two outs and runners on first and second, Cork hit a line drive that ricocheted off the third base bag for an RBI double. Stoddard followed with a two-run double to deep center.
 
Hamilton starting pitcher Zoe Singer settled down after that and at one point retired 10 straight Cortland batters. The Continentals put two unearned runs on the board in the third against Cortland starter Jamie Lachall (Philadelphia, PA/Sun Valley) on a passed ball and an RBI groundout, and they tied the game in the fourth when Phoebe Collins led off with a double, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Delaney Nicol RBI groundout.
 
Hamilton went up 5-3 in the fifth with a two-out rally off reliever Abigail LeBarron (Ballston Spa) that started with a hit batter and a Brautigam single. Staab doubled to deep right to drive in both runners.
 
Jamie Bucci (Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow) drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the fifth and Niki Barbato (East Meadow/Holy Trinity) was hit by a pitch with two outs. Kaleigh Churchill (Camillus/West Genesee) came up next and quickly fell behind 0-2, but fouled off a number of pitches and eventually worked the count full. On the 13th pitch of the at-bat, Churchill lined a single up the middle to score Bucci and move Barbato to third. Cork followed with a double off the fence in right center to drive in two and give Cortland a 6-5 lead.
 
In the sixth, Stephanie Tirone (Amherst/Williamsville South) singled with one out and went to second on a wild pitch. Pinch hitter Skyler Hoyt (Endicott/Union-Endicott) lined a single to left to score Tirone, with an error on the play allowing Hoyt to go to third. Bucci, who re-entered to run, scored on a wild pitch.
 
LeBarron earned the win as she was the pitcher of record when Cortland took the lead for good in the fifth. Sam Van Dorn (Medford/Patchogue-Medford) started the sixth and threw two hitless innings with one walk and one strikeout for the save.
 
Singer allowed five hits and six runs over five innings for Hamilton. She walked three and struck out one. Castiblanco pitched the final two innings and gave up two runs, one earned, on two hits.
 
 Cortland 6, Dickinson 0
 
Flint threw a six-hit shutout against the Red Devils to improve to 2-0 on the young season. She struck out two and walked two. She got into trouble in the bottom of the first with a Casey Ditzler leadoff double and a Michelle Orden single, with Orden taking second on an error during the cutoff throw to the infield. Flint recovered, however, and registered a strikeout, groundout and pop-out to end the threat.
 
Dickinson (1-4) also had runners on first and third with two outs in the second, but a foul out wrapped that inning. Dickinson's final big threat against Flint came in the fifth as the Red Devils loaded the bases with two outs on a leadoff single by Jessica Epstein, a one-out single by Orden and a two-out fielder's choice with an error on the throw to third allowing all runners to be safe. Flint got the next batter to hit into an unassisted fielder's choice at third to preserve the shutout.
 
Cortland struck early for two runs in the top of the first off Dickinson starter Killian Kueny. Andrea Schoonmaker (Marlboro) reached on a one-out bunt single and went to third on a Barbato double. Churchill laid down a squeeze bunt that scored Schoonmaker, and Cork hit an infield single to the hole at shortstop to drive home Barbato.
 
The Red Dragons added single runs in each of the last four innings. Schoonmaker singled home a run in the fourth to make the score 4-0, with another potential run on the play thrown out at home by center fielder Nicole Clayton. Barbato led off with the fifth with a single and pinch runner Alissa De Padua (Milford, PA/Delaware Valley) stole second with two outs, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball.
 
Pinch hitter Jessica Marsh (Wynantskill/Troy) hit a one-out single in the sixth. Bucci re-entered to run and Schoonmaker hit a ball to second. The second baseman tried to tag Bucci and missed, and then threw late to first. Bucci eventually stole third scored on a Churchill single through the left side. In the seventh, Chelsea Palma (Holbrook/Sachem North) hit a one-out, pinch-hit single. With two outs, Rosie Phillips (Geneva/Our Lady of Mercy) singled to right center, and pinch runner Shannon Damon (Staten Island/St. Joseph by the Sea) scored from first when the ball was misplayed by the center fielder.
 
Phillips finished 3-for-3 to lead a 12-hit Cortland attack. Churchill was 2-for-3 with two RBI, and Schoonmaker and Barbato each went 2-for-4 with a run scored, with Schoonmaker also driving home a run.
 
Epstein was 2-for-3 and Orden ended 2-for-4 to account for four of Dickinson's six hits. Kueny went the distance and allowed 12 hits and six runs, four earned. She walked five and struck out two.
