The second game began after the sun went down. The night was very cold, and both schools’ fans were trying to stay warm. The temperature didn’t seem to bother either team. Pitching for the Lady Cardinals was McNeer, with Yarbrough catching. The Lady cardinals were able to claim another win by a 16-2 final over the Lady Lions.

The Lady Cardinals traveled to Tupelo to play in a tournament Friday night and Saturaday (of last week).
