Picayune continued to roll with a 13-1 road win over Long Beach.  For the second

consecutive game the Lady Tide took advantage of the base on balls to score runs.

The Lady Tide put up 2 runs in the second on two bases loaded walks. 

Picayune added 4 more runs in the third inning on six walks, a Long Beach error,

a single from Brooke Ladner to push the lead to 6-0.

The Lady Tide got another run in the fourth when Amanda Green walked with two

outs and scored on Katie Kent's double that sailed over the center fielder's head.
