Additional robust performances came from Alyssa Usrey, who, alongside Odum, showcased strong defensive skills and managed a critical single in the fifth inning, ultimately leading to Odum's run. Despite their best efforts, the Barons could not maintain their lead and lost in extra innings.
In game two, several players delivered impressive performances. Tori Wright and Lexi Bradshaw stood out, each scoring 3 runs; Wright also hit a triple, while Bradshaw hammered a double and gathered 3 hits.
