The Cyclones opened the game with an offensive showcase in the first inning. After a leadoff single from Brittany Gomez, Lexi Slater hammered a two-run home run to put the Cyclones up 2-0. They weren’t done there as the next batter, Maddie Reese, launched a solo shot to move the score to 3-0.
The Cyclones would add two more runs when Nychole Antillon hit what should have been a routine single, but the throw was way off from the Bulldogs and the predictable play turned into a two-run double.
The lead would be extended even further in the second, with a little more help from the Bulldogs.
