Megan Cook had a one-run triple to score Davis and then Kaitlin Brookshire added a two-run double to the score.
Pleasant Home coach Jimmy Reeves said the team did not “slack up” at all because of the score.
“I thought they handled the game like champions,” Reeves said. “They went out there and got out early like they were supposed to and a lot of times when you have a situation like that you slack up and start to get sloppy, and I didn’t see that.”
Woods started the scoring for the Lady Eagles in the second inning on a passed ball, followed by an RBI single from Cook to score Ward.
Davis, Cook and courtesy runner Raven Woods then scored on passed balls to make the score 12-0.
Byrd added an RBI double to score Brookshire, Raven Woods hit an RBI single to score Kathryn Dozier and then Brentin Fuller hit a two-run double to score Byrd and Woods to take Pleasant Home’s lead to 16-0.
Davis and Robyn Weaver knocked RBI triples to score Fuller and Davis to end the inning.
