Prior to the start of game one, President Paris dedicated the field to his father and founder of Ecclesia College, Oren Paris II, saying "My Dad has the best seat in the house for todays game." President Paris had the honor of throwing the first pitch on the field.
The EC Royals took a quick lead on Hillsdale beating them 12-4 in 6 innings. Leading the Royals on the mound was Tonya Villines. The Royals dropped a heartbreaker in game two losing 9-10.
