RINDGE, N.H. (4/25/26) - In the beginning games of the conference series against Southern New Hampshire University, they split the double header, each game only lasting five innings with both teams putting up large numbers.

The Penmen took an early lead, walking in for two runs to start the game, followed by two sacrifice flies.
In the third and fourth inning, Kaysie DeMoura singled to right field and Livi Sousa singled to the second basemen, extending their lead to 6-0 over the Ravens.
The Ravens were able to load the bases with singles from the top lineup, Savannah Arreguin (Los Angeles, Calif.), Zoey Galindo (Lakewood, Calif.), and Charlit Hartenstien (Massapequa, N.Y.) but were unable to produce any runs from it.
After a DeMoura three-run homer in the fifth and a homerun from Alyssa Abbott, the Ravens couldn't recover, despite a run from Taylor Ellis (Crandall, Texas) to end the game.
