Game 1:

Lauren Coker's grand slam propelled the Lady Bucs past Snead State in game 1. Snead struck first as they pushed a run across in the bottom of the 1^st thanks to hits. Back-to-back hits from Alana Spann and Layla Bradshaw led to back-to-back sacrifice flies from Chloe Mitchell and Lauren Coker to give the Lady Bucs a 2-1 lead after the 3^rd inning.

That score would hold until the Lady Parsons pushed 2 across in the 5^th to regain the lead (3-2). The lead would not last long as the Lady Bucs would put together 5 hits (Nataile Liner, Harley Johnson, Aspen Gerald, Alana Spann, and Chloe Mitchell) to tie the game before loading the bases to set up Lauren Coker's grand slam.

Starting pitcher Victoria Hagemann would go the distance in the circle allowing 3 runs on 10 hits and striking out 6.

Game 2:

A late Snead State rally doomed the Lady Bucs in game 2.

The top half of the Lady Bucs lineup continued to produce as they posted 2 runs on 3 hits (Alana Spann, Layla Bradshaw, and Laren Coker) in the 1^st inning. Snead State would answer with 1 run in the bottom half to bring the score to 2-1. A Layla Bradshaw hit would set up a Chloe Mithell RBI triple in the 2^nd as the Lady Bucs tacked on to their lead.

The Lady Parsons would tie the game in the 4^th with a 2-out 2-RBI base hit. Two hits and a 2-run home run would put the finishing touches on the game for the Lady Parsons.
