* Unfortunately, this isn't quite accurate! Mallori did hit a double in the game, and she is a sophomore, but she attends Brazoswood! Mallori hit a lead-off double in the top of the 7th inning to put the pressure on Pearland, but was left stranded as Pearland won the game 1-0. Mallori also had a great defensive game, and of course she was hit by a pitch in one at bat!
