In the National Championship Series:

#2 Texas Bombers Gold-Malpass 5, Unity-Johnson 2: The Bombers, which is in the national championship series for the third time in the past four years and looking for its third national title (2022 & 2024), knocked off the Unity, which was in its first national championship series, in Game 1 in Kokomo, IN.

“Big win in Game 1 against a great opponent,” Bombers coach Kristi Malpass said. “I’m proud of how our team came out and executed. Tomorrow’s going to take even more. Unity is a great team, well-coached and extremely competitive. We’ll need to stay locked in, make adjustments and bring the same intensity pitch by pitch.”

2028 OF Lena Pullin drew a bases-loaded walk and 2029 OF/1B Reese Madsen had an RBI single to give the Bombers a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

2028 RF Emma Huffman singled up the middle to drive in two runs as the Unity tied the Bombers, 2-2, in the top of the 3rd inning.

2028 MIF Landry Mutscher doubled and scored on 2028 C/OF Meah Martinez’s singled to give the Bombers a 3-2 advantage.

2028 MIF Michaela Landers, #4 in the 2028 Line Drive Hot 100, gave the Bombers some insurance with a two-run triple in the bottom of the 6th inning.

Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday at 7 a.m. PT and Game 3, if necessary, is at 9:15 a.m. PT. Both games will be streamed live on AGL.
