The Cavaliers were undeterred and quickly retook the lead in the top of the fifth .Ava Shuford lined out to bring the first run home in the inning before Walker drove in her second run of the game with a single.

Walker had a monster game from the plate, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs.

Callaway essentially killed the game off in the sixth inning, scoring six runs to take an 11-3 lead.

The team’s traded a pair of runs each from there, but there was no way back into the game for Mt. Zion.

Freshman Bella Cleveland got her first varsity start on the mound and put forth a solid showcase in her debut, pitching four innings while allowing six hits on two strikeouts. 

She also aided her cause from the plate, going 1-for-3.

She made way for Kinley Smith for the final three innings. Smith dominated on the mound, allowing just three hits and no earned runs to slam the door on Mt. Zion.
