Game Two

Again in the home half of the inning, the Tornadoes got the run back, giving the Lady Eagles a one-run lead. Anderson hit a solo homerun in the fifth to give Williams a two-run advantage. Talladega plated two runs in the fifth and sixth innings to take a two-run lead over Williams. The Lady Eagles plated five in the seventh to take the lead. Alyssa Cordell got things going with a 2 RBI single to center, Bianca Pettus reached on an error that allowed Hali Williams to score, and Macy Carter hit a 2 run bomb to give Williams a 9-6 lead. Talladega responded in the bottom of the seventh by plating two to cut the Lady Eagles' lead to one, but Williams was able to stop the rally and come away with the win.
