Coach Kyle Buss comments: “We got down 7-2 and just looked a little sluggish. In the 5th inning we cut the lead to 7-5 after a big hit by Allyson Armstrong. In the 6th we took the lead 9-7 after the game tying double by Faith Fuller, and took the lead on a base hit from Ella Banks. After giving up 2 in the 7th and not scoring in the 7th, we escaped a big jam in the Top of the 8th which set the stage for Addie Drone and Ella Banks. After a beautiful Addie Drone bunt, Ella Banks ripped a double in the gap scoring Drone from first base. So proud of our girls for coming back and finding a way to win.”
