The Cavaliers and Mighty Macs split a pair of exciting games on Saturday, as the teams celebrated former Cabrini head coach Mitch Kline and his wife Sandee at the teams' annual Cancer Awareness Day.

Trailing 7-1 midway through the sixth inning, Giordano cut the deficit in half with a three run homer, before Alpaugh's walk-off double to center field capped a four-run rally in the seventh to seal the victory. Giordano went 2-3 at the dish with four RBI and earned a complete game victory in the circle with five punch outs.  

The Cavaliers fell into a 6-0 hole in the night cap a well, slowly marching back, as Alpaugh's three-run blast evened the score at 8-8 after six innings. The Mighty Macs added a run in the seventh, but freshman Amber Seamen's first career homer tied the game with two outs in the seventh.  Immaculata scored a pair of runs in the ninth, but the Blue and White could record another comeback.
