Sophomore center fielder Parker Breland (Union) had a triple and single and two RBI in the win. Sophomore left fielder Olivia Houston (Northwest Rankin), sophomore catcher Anna McNeer (Canton Academy), freshman first baseman Zharia Richardson (Harrison Central), and sophomore designated hitter Annabell Watkins (Leake Academy) each had two hits as the Lady Warriors collected 13. Freshman second baseman Landree Amis (Newton County) scored the game's first run in the first inning after she tripled and later scored on a sacrifice fly.

East Central batted around and scored five runs in the first inning of game two to set the pace. The Lady Warriors scored two more in the second, three in the third, and eight in the fourth get the 18-0 win.
