Although the first game resulted in a loss, Fayette hung tight against the 11-2 New Kesington team with a score of 3-2. Despite the first loss of the day, Fayette rebounded quickly winning the second game of the double header 5-2. Fayette's batting was strong in the second game, getting a total of 13 hits, opposed to the 7 in the first game.

Head Softball Coach Alex Rohlf shared her thoughts about the game, "These were two very hard fought games by both teams. In game one, a couple of inches may have given us the win. But I was proud of how we rebounded to get the split. This was a true team win, every person on our roster did something to push us over the top. This is great momentum to take into big weekend of conference games."
