Monday’s second game saw the Lady Commanders come out of the gates strong, as they got to Boyd starter Amber Hodge for seven runs on five hits in the bottom of the first.
Kati Sutton came on to pitch the second inning, but struggled with her control, walking four of the six batters she faced before being relieved by Scarlette Hodge. By the end of the second, Friendship had scored seven more runs thanks to three hits, an error, and five walks.
With one out in the third, Boyd’s Alicia Driver got her team’s only hit, a single to shallow left. But Sutton lined into a 4-3 double play to end the inning and the game.
