GAME SUMMARY

Emylee Campbell then lofted a flyball to right that was deep enough to bring in Vizcaya from third.
• After the Evangels retired two of the first three batters in the top of the second, Science & Arts put together a massive two-out rally as Jadyn Goucher's two-run homer to right-center started a string five-straight batters reaching safely as a Malea McMurtrey RBI single to center and a Kinzie Williams RBI single to third stretched the USAO lead to 4-1.
• The Evangels managed to get a run back in the bottom of the third when Campbell launched a one-out double to left center and Serena Rodriguez drew a walk before Isabel Ray came up clutch for MACU by dumping a two-out single into shallow right, bringing in Campbell to cut the deficit in-half at 4-2.
• The Drovers immediately swung back with another four-run frame in the top of the fourth as RBI base knocks by Taylor Cronic, Kinzie Williams and a Sierra Selfridge RBI groundout made up the scoring before a dropped flyball error in right brought in the fourth run of the frame, setting the score to 8-2.
• Sophie Williams provided her own support in the top of the seventh with a two-run homer to left center made it a 10-2 game before Cronic's RBI single to right wrapped up the scoring at 11-2.

GAME SUMMARY

• Mid-America Christian put together a massive threat of its own in the bottom of the first as the Evangels loaded the bases on back-to-back singles by Emylee Campbell and Faith Kelley to go with a Serena Rodriguez walk.
