An additional error by the Panthers in the third inning pushed the advantage to 3-0.

Brooke Thomas commanded the circle for the Lady Eagles, pitching a complete game. She allowed five hits and one unearned run across seven innings, striking out eight while issuing three walks. Offensively, Morris managed three hits on the night – one each from Fixico, Katelyn Sparkman and Tenli Barnett. Chyla Marris, Fixico, and Rylee Rock each tallied an RBI.
