For a minute, Lynn Camp looked like they may be able to extend what was a four-game winning streak when they traveled to Middlesboro on Thursday. Then the Lady Jackets took the plate in the bottom half of the first and rattled off nine runs with relative ease.

The game was never in question after that as the Lady Jackets reeled of 11 runs in the second before a walk-off double by Virginia Marcum ended the game in the third with Middlesboro earning the 22-7 victory.
