In the second Madisonville would get that run back to take a 6-1 lead when Anderson singled driving in Smith.

The boom hit in the bottom of the third. Connally had four straight batters reach base by way of walks as they charged back to take a 13-6 lead.

The Lady Mustangs pulled within three in the fourth. Coleman singled to drive in Smith. Anderson was hit by a pitch and would eventually come in to score along with Coleman. Burke then drove in Kyndall Creighton to make it a 13-10 game.

Smith and Coleman would score again in the top of the fifth to pull the Lady Mustangs within one at 13-12.
