How it happened: Polk County trailed 4-3 entering its final at-bat in regulation, but Sarah Vitale’s one-out triple and Amberlyn Scruggs’ RBI single evened the score and set the stage for extra innings.

Scruggs started the ninth-inning rally with a one-out single, followed by base hits by Elizabeth Vitale, Katelyn Arrowood, Laney Littlefield and Kayleigh Wilson.

Freshman Junie Mitchell ripped a two-run homer and Miya Jackson scored later in the inning to give Polk its six-run lead.
