The Lady Panthers got on the board in the top of the fourth inning thanks to a sacrifice fly by sophomore Kat Wallace, scoring senior Cheyenne Motley from third to move the Lady Panthers to 8-1.

Brookhaven continued chipping away at the Lawrence County lead in the top of the fifth inning when Thompson hit a ground ball to the Lawrence County second baseman that went past her because of an error, which scored freshman Madi Miller from third to cut the deficit to 8-2.

Lawrence County would pull away in the bottom of the fifth with a two-RBI triple from Maddux Kirkland to make it 10-2 Lady Cougars.
