Emma West put Trigg in the early lead with an RBI double in the top of the first inning to make it 1-0, but that would essentially be the Lady Wildcats’ offense for the night.
The Lady Cardinals came back with two runs in the bottom of the second inning to take the lead for good. Livingston was aided by a Trigg County infield error as they took the 2-1 lead.
Livingston then effectively put the game away in the bottom of the third inning. Two Trigg County errors and a big triple from Victoria Joiner led the Lady Cardinals to a six-run inning and an 8-1 lead.
Livingston would add another run in the bottom of the 4th and then close out the game with two runs in the bottom of the 6th to reach the 10-run rule.
Trigg County was hampered on the field by fielding miscues. The Lady Wildcats were charged with five errors in the game.
