Head coach Todd McGee was proud of his team’s play in the first four innings as they held a 2-1 lead. Unfortunately, the team did not continue their strong performance in the final innings of play. “We played really good softball during the first four innings on both offense and defense. However, we did not make plays and hit in the last three,” he said.

The team gave up four in the fifth and one more in the sixth. Halley Beckham (9-9) was the losing pitcher. Alaina Davis led the team at the plate, hitting 2-for-3. She, Lani Rinks, Corrie Hill, and Madalyn Bruce each hit a double in the game.
