The Choctaws recorded an out to save a run as Hatcher reached on a fielder's choice to second but De Adder hit a two-RBI single up the middle to plate the game's first runs.

Laney Harris then singled on a ground ball to third to load the bases that allowed Abby McKinney to walk in a run to extend the lead to three.

Annalyn Ormsby tacked on two more in the next at-bat with another two-RBI single before the Choctaws were finally able to get out of the inning.

GAME TWO: Lee 11, Mississippi College 3 (5 innings)

The Choctaws got on the board first in the opening frame as Brooke Fagan found a gap up the middle to single in Rayne Minor.

The Lady Flames took the lead in the third as De Adder delivered again hitting an RBI single to bring home Louie and Hatcher came around to score as the centerfielder bobbled the ball in the third.

Cole extended the Lee lead to two with a solo shot to left-center and the Choctaws responded with two runs of their own in the top of the fifth.

The Lady Flame offense then exploded for five runs in the bottom half of the frame to take an, 8-3 lead. Harris singled through the right side to plate Hatcher and Louie then Ormsby singled but a costly error by the left fielder allowed three runs to score on the same play for the runs in the inning.

Then in the sixth, Besaw reached first after getting hit by a pitch and Louie singled on a pop-up just over the shortstops head. Hatcher walked to load the bases and De Adder once again came through with a two-RBI single to score pinch-runner Kayla Gooch and Louie to take a seven-run lead. After a pitching change, Harris took the first pitch she saw and sent it to deep right to plate Hatcher and end the contest with the run-rule in the sixth.

De Adder and Harris had three RBIs each while Louie had a 4-for-4 game with three runs scored. Hatcher went 2-for-3 as well, as De Adder was 2-for-4.

De Adder got the start in the circle and went 4.1 innings giving up five hits, three earned runs, and five walks to go with three strikeouts. Gracie Leslie (4-5) came in the final 1.2 innings to pick up the win while only walking one and not giving up a hit.

Avery Barnett (7-5) was tagged with the loss after going 4.1 innings giving up seven hits, five runs, four earned, and struck out three batters. Sanders came in relief lasting an inning while giving up four hits, six runs, four earned, two walks, and struck out one.

Head Coach Emily Russell summed it up the following way, "I'm really proud of our girls. I think they did a phenomenal job. Our pitching did a great job to keep us in a tight game especially in the second game when we were losing for three innings. We didn't give up massive amounts of runs. Our hitting across the board, everybody really jumped in there and I think that's why we were successful today."

The Lady Flames wrap up the series with Mississippi College tomorrow beginning at 12 p.m.
