Coffee County would tie the score in the top of the third inning with Ella Arnold scoring on a grounder by Willow Carden to make the score 1-1, but from that point on, the Lady Falcons controlled the game, scoring five times over the next three innings to pile up a 6-1 lead.

The Lady Raiders would manage to load the bases in the top of the sixth inning, but the runners were left stranded after a flyout and a strikeout ended the inning for Coffee County.
