WHAT HAPPENED
  • The Beach threatened in the first as they got runners at the corners with two outs, but Megan Powell froze Carly Robbins on a 3-2 count to end the inning
  • Eagles got their first baserunner in the third inning as Annelisa Winebarger led off the inning with a single up the middle
  • She moved to second with one out after Madelyn Miller singled through the left side to put two on, but were left stranded
  • The Beach put a runner in scoring position at second in the bottom of the third but once again Powell got a called third strike to end the threat
  • Top of the fourth, Powell singled to third with one out
  • Later in the inning Emma Jackson singled off the bag at third to put Grayson Buckner in scoring position at second but was stranded after a groundout to third by Winebarger
  • Eagles threatened in the top of the seventh inning as Jackson got things going with one out as she was hit by a pitch
  • Winebarger followed with her second hit of the game, a single to center to put Jackson in scoring position
  • Tabitha Perry worked a 1-2 count to full before striking out swinging
  • Miller stepped in with a chance and put the ball with a grounder to the pitcher, but it was fielded cleanly and thrown to first for the out
  • The game headed to extra innings using the international tie breaker as Miller was placed on second
  • Roberson led off by sacrificing Miller over to third base
  • Mili Watts stepped in and delivered a double to left to plate Miller for a 1-0 lead
  • In the bottom of the eighth Jacquelyn Bickar sacrificed Lina Apodaca to third to start things off

EXTRA BASES
  • This was the first road shutout by the Eagles since Mar. 8, 2024 in a 2-0 victory at Georgia Southern
