RAYMOND, Miss. -- Trailing 5-4 in the final inning for the Lady Choctaws, it was a

UM scored one run in the fourth inning on a solo home run, before taking the lead, 5-4, with two runs in the top half of the seventh inning.
That's when the Lady Choctaws rallied in the bottom half of the seventh inning, as LaFosse's two RBI single lifted MC to the series opening win over Montevallo.
