In the second game the Lady Tigers crushed Oxford with a trio of pitchers on the mound. Fullilove started the game. Darbi Smith came in relief in the top of the third and Megan McGee finished the game in the fourth.

Fullilove faced nine batters, striking out six in two innings. McGee sat down two of three at bat.
Lady Tiger head coach Ashleigh Hicks substituted several younger players in the second game.
The Lady Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the bottom of the first with two runs by Chloe Morgan and one each by Sydney Morgan, Madison Collier, Haley Reid, Morgan Parker, Moudy and Terri Tidwell.
