In their second game Prattville Team A defeated the 2007 state champions Walker County by a score of 5-4. The girls came out swinging in their third game against Vestavia Hills and wrapped up an 8-3 victory.
This win propelled Prattville Team A into the championship.
Prattville Team A was the home team against Oak Mountain for the State
Championship. The game was tight from the first pitch. Oak Mountain jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the third inning. Prattville Team A scored a run in the fourth inning, and then the game was delayed due to rain.
After the one-hour rain delay, Prattville Team A scored another run in the fifth inning to tie the game.
The 90-minute time limit had expired in top of the sixth inning and Oak Mountain failed to score any runs.
In the bottom of the sixth, Prattville Team A was able to add one run to win the championship.
There was no most valuable player for the tournament, everyone stepped up and performed as a team carrying themselves on to victory.
The team posted an overall record of 19 - 1 in post-season play and outscored their opponents 224 - 54.
Team averages for batting was .374, slugging was .520 and on base percentage was .481.
