YOUNG HARRIS, Ga.

Grace Young was stellar in the circle in game two, pitching a complete game allowing just one earned run.

·      The Mountain Lions got on the board in the second inning courtesy of an Avery Fielden RBI double to right-center.  
·      Each team scored two runs in the fifth inning, SWU's runs came way of a two-run home run from Talissa Cannady, while YH's runs were scored on back-to-back RBI singles from Jess                   Jaruszewski and Shayla Pennington.
