Kylie Taylor and Kayla Johnston, both had two singles in the game, had base hits in the inning. The Red Devils took advantage of three Panther errors.
Allen County didn’t score in the second game until the sixth inning again. This time the Red Devils trailed 3-0 as Neosho County had single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
Sigg drew a walk and Umholtz hit a two-run home run. That was it for ACCC.
