The game was pretty quiet for both teams offensively until the bottom of the fifth inning when Lyon plated three runs, but the Lady Eagles responded with four of their own in the top of the sixth. Alyssa Cordell (SO/Bentonville, Ark.) got things going with a solo homerun over the left field fence. Then Kennedy Johnson (FR/Forney, Texas) was walked and Maggie Crossno (SR/Senath, Mo.) hit a single to put two on for Macy Carter (JR/Paragould, Ark.) who hit a RBI single to score the pinch runner Camryn Martin (SR/Marion, Ark.). Then Chasity Gandy (SR/Greenbrier, Ark.) hit a 2-RBI single to plate Crossno and Carter. The Lady Eagles weren't done yet, as they plated two insurance runs in the top of the seventh. Cordell walked and then Johnson hit a 2-run bomb over the left field fence.

The offensive kept going in game two. In the top of the third, Hali Williams (JR/Bells, Texas) scored on a RBI triple from Megan Weis (FR/Republic, Mo.). In the fifth inning, Johnson hit a RBI single, Kaydra Cole (JR/Paragould, Ark.) hit a RBI double and came around to score on an error, and Macy Carter hit a RBI single to plate four runs in the inning.
