For the game, Halli Russell was 2-for-2 with three runs batted in and two runs scored, LaKaila Drew doubled and scored twice, Akeelah Truett doubled with two RBIs and two runs scored and Maisie Wells doubled with an RBI for Vian, which had its Monday road game at Okmulgee postponed due to the heat. Kala Gibbins (6-2) got the win, striking out 10 batters in four innings and throwing a four-hitter.

In defeat, Ayrland Giles was 2-for-2 for the Lady Tigers (0-9). Jiles (09) took the loss as she fanned one batter.
