Game 1
Tuskegee held Columbus State scoreless in the first, but
Calli Star tucked a solo home run inside the left field foul pole in the second to get their offense started, and
Keeli Waugh later singled home Beyer to make it a 2-0 game. In the third, Perdue got in on the act with a three-run missile over the left-centerfield wall to stretch the lead to five.
Perdue wasn't done though. The junior stepped up with the bases loaded in the following inning and promptly unloaded them with a grand slam.
Just for good measure, Star cranked out her second homer of the game to go back-to-back and finish off the scoring for CSU.
Perdue was 2-for-3 in game two as well, driving in seven runs. All nine Lady Cougar starters had at least one hit in the game.
