Cedar Crest dropped both games in five innings by a margin of, 10-0, and 12-4 on Saturday afternoon.

Game two saw the Falcons continue struggle on offense, while trailing 1-0 at the end of the first inning the team cleaned the slate earning the own run to tie things at one a piece. Two runners were walked, and later advanced into scoring position for sophomore designated player Laura Rau (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) to hit a single to left field for one run. Trailing 12-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning, sophomore outfielder Kelly Reading (Taunton, MA/Taunton) was walked and advanced to second on a hard hit up the middle by pinch hitter Aimee Sarboukh (Somerset, N.J./Bound Brook). With runners on, junior shortstop Kaylee Martinez (Hemet, CA/West Valley) knocked in the pair with a double to left field. A sacrifice fly to centerfield by Rau scored Martinez which turned out to be the final run of the game as the deficit wasn't cut under eight runs.
