The short game saw Edmonson's first run on the board in the bottom of the first, when senior Kaylee Ann Sanders scored on a ground out from senior Autumn Simmons. After a quick top of the second, thanks to Lady Cat pitcher Julie Norris, the Lady Cats took control of the game in the bottom of the inning and never looked back.

With two outs, the Lady Cats were able to put together the following consecutive plays: single, walk, single, single, double, Lady Dragon error, and another double to take a commanding 7-0 lead.

After three straight outs against Warren Central in the top of the third, the wheels came off for the Lady Dragons as Edmonson County was able to put 8 more runs on the board, resulting in a run-ruled, 15-0 lop-sided win.
