Game two

The Lady Wolves held off a late push from the Lady Trojans in game two to secure the much need MACJC sweep Sunday night as Mississippi Delta plated nine runs in the final two innings.

Co-Lin started the game on fire with a pair RBI singles from Bailey Root and Tori Pettit, and an RBI double from Alex Anthony to get an early 5-0 lead in the top of the first.

The Lady Trojans came to life and rattled off five runs in the bottom of the sixth off an RBI double, RBI single, sac fly, and fielder’s choice.

Mississippi Delta then gave the Lady Wolves a scare in the bottom of the seventh with an RBI single and back-to-back RBI doubles to bring the game within one, 10-9. Mackenzie Gros locked down the final two batters with a fly ball and a groundout to secure the win.
