It took 10 innings for the Lady Panthers to score enough runs to win, but they beat the Tigers in walk-off fashion Thursday night in Game 1. For most of the game, the score was 1-1. RV had several chances to score the go-ahead run, but strike outs and ground outs were all they could manage. Madison Blackwood pitched 10 innings, facing 39 batters, only allowing 8 hits and had 11 strike outs with 3 of those looking. Finally in the bottom of the 10th inning, Devon Rodewald walked, Athena Broaddus singled and Sydney Moss hit a sacrifice bunt to move them to 3rd and 2nd. Callie Coleman then got on base to load them for Tyjha Henderson. Tyjha hit a single to left scoring Devon and the Panthers won 2-1.
