The six-team, double-elimination tournament is being held at Jackson Memorial Park in Vienna, W.Va.

Point Park jumped on WVU Tech early with five runs in the bottom of the first. There were three hits, two errors and also three left on base that prevented further damage. It all started with Maddie Horn's lead-off hit. Then two straight bunts by Courtney Blocher and Tiffany Edwards had neither of those produce an out -- the first one went for a base hit, and the second forced an error that scored Horn.

Hailey Leitner then delivered an RBI hit to keep the inning going. The second error came on Taylor Goldstrohm's contact to the right side and scored a run. The final two runs came home via bases-loaded walks.

Point Park starting pitcher Ashley Iagnemma gave up just one hit through the first 3.0 innings of the game. She has three strikeouts and one walk so far. When the game picks up, there will be a runner at first with no outs in the top of the WVU Tech fourth inning. The runner reached on an error.
