The Lady K’s would strike first in the 1st inning taking a 1-0 lead that would stand up until the bottom of the 5th inning. Then Pine Prairie would hit a solo home run to tie the game up.

The game would resume around 10:45 p.m. at Tioga and Pine Prairie would quickly take a 2-1 lead in the 5th inning then score two more in the 6th as the Lady K’s never had another answer since the 1st inning as they would fall 4-1.
