It marked Harris’ ninth home run of the season, setting a new single-season program record. Her career total of 24—and counting—is also the most in Lady Marshals history.

The Lady Falcons reclaimed the lead with three runs in the fifth inning, all coming in on a double by Blair Byassee.
Macy McLeod led off the sixth with a walk, a sacrifice by Adley Poole moved her over to second which set the stage for Harris, who crushed a two-run shot over the left field fence to give the Lady Marshals the lead—and ultimately the win.
Lilly Hayden earned the victory in the circle, striking out five over six innings while allowing six hits and three earned runs.
