The lead would not last though, with the Missy Gators missing some key players due to other sport obligations. This handicap proved to have a large impact on the team.

Late in the game, the Lady Flashes began to pick up the pace and eventually took the lead after multiple hits at the plate.

Kyleigh Cooper had a outstanding performance on the mound for the Flashes. Cooper managed to strike out many of the Missy Gator’s batters late in the game which proved to aid in turning the tables to their favor.
