WHAT HAPPENED
  • Macy McCall led off the bottom of the first with a single through the hole at short and then stole second

  • Eagles threatened again in the bottom of the second as Lauren King walked with one out followed by a bunt single from Ashton Vanhouse
  • On the bunt single, King moved to third as the late throw to first was off the mark
  • The threat ended as McCall and Warren struck out back-to-back
  • McCall drew a walk to lead off the bottom of the fifth and then stole second to move into scoring position
  • Warren then sacrificed her to third, giving Ashley Westbrooks a chance to drive her home

  • The Runnin' Bulldogs did threaten in the top of the seventh as Perry walked with one out
  • Perry was out on a force out but a two out single down the line put runners at first and second
