All she did was deliver for Alabama State.
The sophomore laid down a squeeze back to the pitcher that was enough to score Kindall DeRamus from third with the winning run, giving Alabama State a 7-6 victory.
The win moves Alabama State to the championship game where they will need to be beat twice, and they will await the winner from a trio of teams including Jackson State, Alcorn State, and Southern.
Alabama State last won the conference championship back in 2019 and came into the tournament as the defending champions with no tournament last year due to COVID. The appearance in the championship game is the sixth consecutive for the Lady Hornets dating back to 2016, and Alabama State has won two championships since that point.
