“We are dealing with injuries and the flu right now,” Andalusia head coach Anthony Mikel said. “Maggie Furr is a seventh grader and I really thought she pitched a great game for the situation we just threw her into. Errors really killed us tonight.”

Cox drove in four runs to lead the way for the Lady Bobcats.

“Graceaane pitched a great game and we played good defense for six innings,” Opp head coach David McVay said. “We were able to get some timely hits, but that is something we have to get better doing. We will get back after and we will get there.”
