Ballinger got on the board in the first inning when Jenna Battle drew a walk, scoring one run. Battle singled in the first, singled in the first, singled in the third, singled in the fifth, and doubled in the ninth. In the top of the seventh inning, Ballinger tied things up at 13 when Alina Pena singled on a 3-2 count, scoring two runs. Pena had a homer in the fourth inning. Jessa Battle, Pena, Mikaela Gonzalez, Olivia Aguilera, Tristen Hoelscher and Addison Martin all had multiple hits for Ballinger Bearcats Varsity.
