On Wednesday, the two teams would split the series and on Thursday the teams saw the same result as the Lady Plainsmen won game one, 6-5 while Otero came out on top in game two, 6-5.

Game 1: Borger 11 River Road 10
The Wildcats got off to a good start in game one by using a two RBI single in the top of the first inning to take an early 0-2 lead.

The Raiders struck early when Hutton Sharp scored the first goal in the game in the 10th minute to take a 0-1 lead.
