This was followed by hits from Kassidy Brantley and Natalie Quintero. Mishi Smith came in to pinch hit and came through with a big single into shallow right field that drove in two runs, setting the Lady Dawgs on the path to victory.

Key players like Brantley and Quintero proved instrumental in this victory. Brantley delivered a commendable performance, going 2-for-3 at the plate. Meanwhile, Quintero demonstrated her skills with two singles and a sac bunt. Smith finished the day with a single and a hit by pitch. Stringer, who started the game on the mound for the Lady Dawgs, pitched an incredible game. She struck out seven Indians over seven innings, and kept the Indians off the board on the way to the 2-0 win.
