Despite a late 3-run rally to cut the lead down in the 7th, the Mary Baldwin Fighting Squirrels were unable to catch the William Peace Pacers as they took the first game in the three game series with a 10-5 Pacers win. Three unfortunate double plays hindered the Mary Baldwin offensive today. The Pacers were able to capitalize on three errors resulting in three unearned runs.
