Loyd Star 4, Bogue Chitto 1 

The Lady Hornets were able to get on base pretty quick, but the Lady Cats defense was able to make sure nobody else got on base or crossed home plate. The Lady Cats came out of the gates and got the bases loaded right off the bat. But just like the Lady Cats defense, the Lady Hornets were able to fight through the challenge to get out of the inning without letting any runs come across home plate.

In the second inning, Brooks Rushing for the Lady Hornets got the first hit for the Lady Hornets of the night. The Lady Bobcats were able to get out of the inning unharmed.

In the fifth inning, the Lady Cats defense came unraveled. The Lady Hornets were able to push four runs across home plate with two base hits on three errors by the Lady Cats.
