East Lincoln had momentum at the end of Game 2 in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3A softball state championship, and the Mustangs carried it over into a decisive Game 3.
Jillian Brunton turned on the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the eighth inning and sent it over the center field fence for a two-run homer that gave the Western Alamance Warriors a 6-4 walk-off win in Game one of the 3A Championship Series against East Lincoln.
