CAGLE 2-OUT DOUBLE!! Looked like she might have homered for the 4th straight game, but it one-hopped the wall in left. RISP with 2 outs for Guimbarda, who was the hero on Friday night with a walk-off double in the 7th.

Good grief Pereira makes a mental error at 3rd on an easy grounder. She threw home without the force instead of taking the easy out at 1st, and State scored the first run of the game. Corners now with 2 outs.

Grounder to 2nd finally ends the inning, but a costly mental error by Pereira cost the Tigers 3 runs. That's gonna hurt Cagle's ERA too! Of course, they also would have gotten out of the inning with no runs if she hadn't given up her first walk of the game.
