The Lady Bears would battle back to tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the fifth.
In the top of the seventh, West Lincoln grabbed a 2-1 lead, but Enterprise would answer in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at 2-2 on a RBI single by Carlee Nations. Dahlin then hit the game-winning single that scored Carlee Nations.
“This was a great defensive game for both teams,” said West Lincoln coach Andrew Redd. “Our girls did a great job fighting hard to stay in the game. Offensively, we have got to do a better job moving runners around when we have runners on base. We left too many runners on base today.”

Megan Gerald absorbed the setback on the mound for West Lincoln with four strikeouts and one walk.
