BC out-hit Richton 13-6 as they never trailed Tuesday. A Julianna Frazier single in the first inning scored Codi Leggett and quickly put the Lady Cats up 1-0.

Two more runs were added in the second when Kayci Beth Wallace hit an RBI single and an error allowed another Lady Cat to cross the plate on a ball hit by Leggett that put BC up 3-0.
