Game 5 – Mississippi State 11, Washington 10

What started as a 3-0 lead for Mississippi State in the first inning was quickly pulled away by a grand slam from Alycia Flores in the fourth. The Bulldogs took that momentum from the Huskies and responded with four runs in the fifth. Paige Ernstes’s pinch-hit double scored two more and the Bulldogs continued to fight with an 11-6 lead. Washington threatened with four more runs in the sixth but failed to tie the game.

PINCH-HIT PAIGE!
