In game one, Kiana Millsaps was the star, both with the bat and in the pitcher's circle.

Millsaps threw four scoreless innings and allowed just one hit while striking out three to improve to 19-3 on the season. Millsaps retired 12 of the 13 batters she faced before giving way to Kyndle Wallace for the final inning.
The Sherrill sisters, Vada and Bailey, combined to go 5-for-6 with three runs scored and two runs batted in. Makenzie Pennell drove in a pair with a run-scoring double and Kari Westerbeek went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a walk.
Vada Blue Sherrill stole her 43rd base of the season and hasn't been caught once all year.
It was more of the same in game two with Pfeiffer pitching a shutout and the offense doing damage. Kennedy Lester struck out four batters in her four shutout innings to improve to a perfect 10-0 on the year.
The offense pounded out 12 hits in five innings, led by two each from Pennell, Chandler Walker, Lindsey Powell and Millsaps. Pennell drove in three runs and hit a pair of doubles and Walker also hit a couple of two-baggers. Sherrill added two more stolen bases and Sara Brown added a run-scoring triple.
