In game two the Bobcats fell behind early by five runs to only come storming back behind a three-run home run by Makenzi Wilkerson. That fired the Bobcats bats up with Maddie Denning, Tabithia Mimbs, and Makenzie Crews each having two hit performances for the Bobcats in game two.
Getting the win on the mound would be Payten Strickland who would pitch four innings for the Bobcats. Mattie Cash closed out the Indians in the 6th and 7th innings to get the 12 to 8 victory.

We have a lot of power on our team along with a lot of speed, and when those elements of the game all come together like today, you produce a lot of runs and have a lot of fun at the ballpark.”
