The game was scoreless until Mikaela Burgess laid down a bunt with one out in the top of the 5th. Republic pitcher Rachel Rook threw the ball wide of first base, and it rolled all the way into the right field corner, allowing Burgess to circle the bases. Webb City loaded the bases after that, and Beason followed with a grand slam.
The Lady Tigers mustered only two hits off Beason, who struck out four and didn’t walk a batter.
Webb City tacked on two more runs in the 7th inning to account for the final margin.
