In the first game against the Lady Highlanders, Anderson County prevailed, 11-2. The Lady Mavericks won the nightcap, 13-0. Both games were scheduled for five innings. The first went the distance. The second was called after four innings due to the run rule.

Pitcher Ashlynn Grissom picked up the win in the circle in the first game. She went five innings and surrendered two runs, four hits and one walk. She finished the contest with three strikeouts.
Offensively, leadoff hitter Kaycee Baldwin went 2-for-3. She recorded a double, a run and three RBIs. Alexis Siebers was 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBIs, while Alli McKamey went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs.
