HOW IT HAPPENED
Game One

• Hits were evenly dispersed between the two squads in game one with each team racking up six hits.
• Only one run crossed the plate the entire game, coming from Alabama-Huntsville, which ended up being the deciding factor.
• The Chargers scored one run on two hits in the bottom of the fifth to take the 1-0 lead. Delta State could never muster up enough offense to respond, falling 1-0.
• Raleigh, Miss. native Kassidy Tally led the offensive efforts, going 2-for-4 from the plate.
• Freshman Shayna Beaver (5-3) suffered the loss, pitching the complete game and giving up one earned run on six hits.
   

Game Two

• UAH struck first in the top of the second inning by scoring two runs, using one hit and capitalizing on two DSU fielding errors to take the early 2-0 lead.
• Delta State answered in its next at-bats, knotting the score at 2-2. Kaitlin Moore and Amber Adcock used back-to-back RBI-singles to score Rodriguez and Tally.
• The Chargers tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the fourth courtesy of a Haley Thompson two-run shot to left center. Adding another UAH run in the fifth notched the score at 5-2 in favor of Huntsville.
• Adcock led off the top of the sixth with a solo homer over the left field fence, but the attempt was too little too late, as the Lady Statesmen dropped game two by a final 5-3.
• A 5-foot-4 senior infielder, Adcock led the offensive attack in game two, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored.
• Taylor Johnson (5-2) took the loss, going the full game and giving up five runs, three earned, on five hits.
