Brittney Gonzalez and
Alex Stecklein scored after a great sac-bunt from
Brittany Kendall to take a 2-0 lead.
Back-to-back triples by the Busters to start the sixth inning tied the game at two, then Garden City was able to take the lead on a solo home run to take a 3-2 lead into the final inning.
In the top of the seventh, Kendall hit a grounded out to the right side to score Stecklein to tie the game, then
Samantha Montano had a clutch single to give Dodge City the lead back, 4-3.
With runners on first and second in the bottom of the seventh and two outs, a fly-ball to center got lost in the sun and dropped to score a run and tie the game at four. The very next batter singled to left field to score the run and win the game, 5-4.
Brittany Kendall got the start in game two and threw 3.0 innings and allowed five runs on seven hits. McDaniel and
Emily Stephenson threw in relief as McDaniel allowed three runs in one inning of work and Stephenson allowed two runs in 0.2 innings.
