Payton Rhodes got the nod to start the game in the pitchers' circle, where struck out five batters and tossed 4.2 innings, then Grace Trauger came in relief and struck out four. The Lady Cats had a tough time at the plate against some very good pitching from the Lady Razorbacks. Hope was led at the plate by Payton Rhodes who smacked a single. The Lady Cats also drew five walks as a team, as hits were extremely difficult to come by. Makenzie Cox and Chyna Tolliver each reached base twice for the Lady Cats. Grace Trauger and Ava Brown each drew a walk. 

The game ended 10-0 in favor of Arkansas High, who is set to begin their 5A State Tournament next week. It's been a great season for the Lady Cats.
