The Cobras (19-14) quickly got out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning on a walk and hit by pitch. Casy Mandrell's two-out double in the 3rd drove in two runs and the Cobras led 4-0. The Jaguars (21-7) scored twice in the top of the 6th inning to cut the Cobras' lead to 4-2, but a Casy Mandrell home run and Zoey Clark's two-RBI single gave Parkland a comfortable 7-2 lead going into the final inning.

Game 2: Danville Area Community College 7, Parkland College 2 
 
Parkland jumped out to an early one-run lead in the bottom of the 1st when Anna Walker drove in Kendyl Ring on an RBI single to right field.

The Cobras scored in the bottom of the frame but still trailed 3-2 going into the 4th inning. DACC scored twice in the 4th and once in the 5th and Parkland couldn't fight back, as the Cobras fell 7-2 in the second game on Sunday.

Kendyl Ring (2-4, 2 R) and Anna Walker (1-3, RBI) started the game off with two hits in the Cobras' first two at-bats, but the offense stayed quiet for most of the rest of the day. Zoey Clark (1-3, RBI) drove in a run in the bottom of the third, but Parkland was held without a hit from that point on in the loss.
