Coffee County got on the board first in the 1^st inning as Haley Hinshaw doubled home Ashley Evans. Baylor bounced back to take a 3 to 1 lead with single runs in the 3^rd, 4^th and 6^th innings and had the Lady Raiders down to their final out in the 7^th. Coffee County got a 2 out solo home run from Tori Bell, a single from Hinshaw and an RBI double from Sarah West to tie the game and send it to extra innings. Baylor strung together 4 hits in the 9^th to claim the win.

Bell finished with 2 hits and an RBI as she was named the Crazy Daisies player of the game. Katie Rutledge finished the game with 3 singles and Hinshaw finished with a pair of hits and a run scored.
