The 10U Naturals won the Arkansas USFA “C” division State Championship 2-1 in an all-time pitchers duel. Tied 0-0, the game headed into extra innings, with the “International Tie Breaker” rule in effect. Both teams scored once in the first extra frame, but in the top of the 7th, Amie Davis knocked in Abbey Kindall with a triple to center field. 

Andie Priest came back out to the mound to shut down the Wild Thangs, which is what she’d done all day. Her final stat line was 7 IP, 1 hit, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. She got an assist from her catcher, Kindall, who gunned down a runner attempting to steal third for the last out of the game.
