Twigg led off with a double and, after Ashley Metcalfe reached on an error, scored on a single by Michelle Cain. After Samantha Patton reached on an error to load the bases, Mitchell cleared them with her homer, giving the Catamounts a 6-2 lead.
Brittany Wright homered on the first pitch of the sixth inning to make it 7-2.
Twigg went the distance and allowed only four hits. She walked four and struck out three.
Metcalfe and Twigg led Potomac State at the plate with a double and single each.
The Hawks won the first game 19-4, scoring 15 runs in its final two at-bats.
