Christian County would add two more runs in the third inning to extend the lead to 5-0. Both runs were scored on the same wild pitch.
The Lady Colonels plated three runs in the fourth inning to run the lead out to 8-0. Again, it was Avery Adcock with the big hit, this time a two-run single.
The Lady Colonels would add an insurance run in the bottom of the 6th.
Avery Adcock finished 2-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Pickle Winkler, Riley Hancock, and Karlee Crick added one hit each to the Lady Colonels attack.
