The game ended up being a pitcher’s duel, as that three-run lead was all the Lady Cardinals needed to get the win and advance to the final round of the tournament.
Alexis Wood started on the mound for Caldwell County, and she was able to pitch all seven innings of the game. She started off the game getting all of the ground balls her team needed, but Livingston’s imposing offense was eventually able to break through.
