How it Happened

Jones started off the scoring with her RBI single, she scored Emilee Baker who had reached on a single and advanced on a throwing error. Jones would go on to steal second base as well, but be stranded off a Smith fly out. 

Mullins started off giving up back-to-back singles and a walk, but worked her way out of trouble. She assisted an out at home to get the first out, going on to strike out the next batter for the second. She'd assist on an out from a ground out to escape the inning with no runs on the board.

The Bobcats lone run in the second inning came off a Kat Zarate single up the middle, she scored Randolph who reached on a single of her own. 

The lone run Mullins gave up in this game came in the second inning after giving up two hits and hitting a batter. She would go on to strike out back-to-back batters to escape the inning without allowing another run, stranding two runners on base.

Smith's home run came in the top of the third inning. She'd get 2 RBI for the attempt after Anna Jones reached on a single, stealing second in the process.

Mullins had a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts in the third, silencing the Warhawks attempt at a comeback.

Earls tallied an RBI on her single up the middle in the 4^th inning, she scored Zarate who had been walked previously in the inning. In the 5^th inning, Randoklph had an RBI single to score the previously walked Jones.
