The Lady Birds took the early lead with 2 first-inning runs, then after a scoreless second, they added 2 more in the third, another in the fourth, and finished the game off under the 10-run rule with 5 runs in the home half of the fifth.
Elena Philpott pitched all five innings with the junior giving up just 2 Hornet hits. She had 10 strikeouts and walked just one Hornet batter in a solid performance.
