Grundy tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the third when Stephanie Cantrell picked up the only hit of the day for the Lady Jackets and then worked her way to third, eventually scoring on a fielder?s choice by Alicia Duncan.

In the top of the fourth Boyd took the lead for good after Wanamaker singled to get things started. A walk and then a sacrifice bunt by Reynolds scored Wanamaker.

Grundy went down one-two-three in the bottom of the inning. Both teams put one runner on base in the fifth, but the Lady Broncos held on for the victory.
