After the first two innings, Trenton would not score again. Cameron added single runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings – the one in the sixth ending the game by the 10-run rule.
For Trenton, Teya Cooksey and Jena Harris each had two hits and a run scored with Cooksey adding an RBI. Madi Moore had a hit, a run and two RBIs while Jenna Reeter added an RBI and Eliana Cowling scored a run. Seniors Maci Moore, Jaycie Griffin and Chloe Harris collected one hit each in the loss.

Trenton’s defense didn’t help its pitchers very much, committing seven errors in the field.
