Game 1: Parkland College 11, Spoon River College 2
 
The Cobras (12-13) struck first when they drove in five runs in the 2nd inning and Parkland had no trouble on offense against the Snappers, as three different Cobras hit home runs players ended the game with multiple hits. Chayse Ramey (7-6) struck out five batters and allowed just one hit in three innings and Parkland won easily, 11-2, in game one.
 
Casy Mandrell (2-3, 2 HR 3 RBI) broke the game open with a two-run home run in the second inning to give the Cobras a 4-0 lead, before going yard again in the top of the 6th. Lizzy Davis (1-3, RBI) and Reagan Cheely (3-4, 2 R, 3 RBI) also hit homers in Parkland's eighth straight game.

Game 2: Spoon River College 8, Parkland College 4
 
In the second game, the Cobras took an early 1-0 lead in the 2nd inning on an error by the Snappers' first baseman. Spoon River answered in the bottom of the 4th when a two-run home run put Parkland behind 2-1. The Cobras responded in the top of the 5th, tying the game, and eventually taking a 4-2 lead when Regan Cheely drove in Zoey Clark on a two-out double to center field. Spoon River would not quit, however, and the Snappers took a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the fifth on an error. Parkland could not muster up a response this time and a Snappers' three-run single in the bottom of the 6th inning put the game out of reach. The Cobras flew out three times in the bottom of the inning and Parkland dropped their first conference game of the season 8-4 in Peoria.
