The Lions continued their roll into the third inning, with a double by Audrina Sloan extending the lead to 5-0. With no sense of slowing down, the Lions continued their streak and demonstrated exceptional power. Colbie Bennet led Carterville with 3 runs batted in, guiding her teammates and setting the pace. The runs continued as Audrina Sloan and Kendall Mcalla closed the game, securing the 10-0 victory.
