Game One
WHAT HAPPENED
  • The first game seemed to be a pitcher's duel the first three innings of play. Union got the bats rolling in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Gabby Morris singled to score Hannah Ridolfi all the way from first base. Haley Barnette would then pick up an RBI single up the middle that scored Morris. LaDesha Nelson would then send a shot off the center field fence to pick up the two RBI double. Rachel Ridolfi would put the Lady Bulldogs up 5-0 on another RBI single, this time to right field.
  • West Alabama would get three runs back in the top of the fifth inning. Only two of the runs were earned in the inning. Union's right fielder dropped a fly ball with the bases loaded that would score one run. Two more runs would cross the plate by bases loaded walks. Union was able to work out of the jam to come out still leading 5-3.
  • The Lady Bulldogs would put up a six spot in the bottom half of the inning to end the game by way of mercy rule. Ashley Scott doubled to left center to score Anna Morris, pinch running for Hannah Ridolfi. Hailey Cummings would then single through the left side to score Scott. Paige Robertson picked up an RBI, sending a double to left center to score Barnette. Robertson would then come around to score on the single off the bat of Rachel Ridolfi. Emily Bennett would get the two RBI walkoff triple to end the game, 11-3.
