Charlotte laced a two-out double to right and advanced to third on the play. Katie Anderson then got the program’s first-ever triple, a linter to center to score Stafford and make it a 4-1 game. She was stranded on third to end the threat.

Athens Christian added three in the fourth and five in the third to secure the win. Callie Craver took the loss but struck out four in five innings while allowing just three earned runs. Tallulah Falls moves to 0-6 on the season and 0-3 in region play.
