Jaimee Vega plated the first run with a double and Alaysia Miller knocked in two with a single to make it 4-1. That was all the support Lazar needed as she shut down the Raiders over the final two innings to secure the win.
Gia Tomossone opened the scoring in game two with a double in the second inning to give SF a 1-0 lead. SSC rallied in the third to tie the game but the Saints scratched another run across in the fourth on a sac fly by Tomossone to regain the lead 2-1.
