Long Beach 4 Picayune 2

Defense was the key to this game. The Lady Tide gave up four runs in the fourth inning on five errors to allow Long Beach to

go ahead 4-1. Those four runs proved to be enough as the Bearcats played flawlessly to beat Picayune 4-2 handing them

their first division loss. The Tide out-hit Long Beach 12 hits to 6, but the Tide was unable to get the hit when it counted

leaving 10 runners stranded on base.
Sarah Dodd, who took the loss on the mound, was 3-3 at the plate

including a double. Tiffany DeVore and Brandi Rabion had two hits each while Jessica Rancifer, Nastassia Poole,

Bethany Crawford, Amanda Green and Brooke Ladner each had one hit.
