Unfortunately, Alvord answered back with six runs in the second inning to take the lead.
The Bulldogs scored two more runs in the fourth inning to lead 8-1 all the way up until the final inning.
Alvord then scored six more runs in an inning that never seemed to end to make the final score 14-1.

The Lady Pirates won 13-0 after four and half innings due to run rule.
