“This is the third year in a row we've been to the state tournament and made it to the semifinals two straight years before getting to the championship game,” said Grove coach Jeremy Collins. “Getting past Carl Albert last Friday was a big step to getting here. Our kids just stepped up. It's somebody different all the time. Tonight it was Morgan Knox's turn. Jessie Walker pitched lights out again.”
Chickasha matched Walker's run with one in the bottom half of the fourth. Gore reached on an error and came home on one of Brooklin Burns' two runs batted in on the afternoon. Grove regained the lead in the fifth when Megan Freeman scored on a Taylor Dodson single.
The Lady Ridgerunners added the eventual game-winning run in the sixth as Knox drove in pinch runner Ciera Christy to give Grove a 3-2 advantage heading into the bottom half of the sixth.
