COLUMBUS, Ga.—In the final game of Day of the 2011 SIAC Championship, the No. 2 seeded Thorobrettes of Kentucky State University battled the No. 1 seeded Tigerettes of Tuskegee University. The game, slated for a 6 p.m. start was delayed due to the length of both teams previous games (Tuskegee lost to Clark Atlanta and Kentucky State defeated Albany State).

First pitch was thrown around 8:35 p.m. and Kentucky State scored first on two outs with a single up the middle by Shenaaz Burrell. The Tigerettes came out in the bottom of the first, loaded the bases and then took a 3-1 lead over the Thorobrettes on a base-clearing double by Denavia Harrison. Burrell walked Jamie Kieth,, but KSU got out of the inning as Megan Moore grounded into a double play.

Caitlyn Pierotti got a leadoff single for the Brettes in the top of the second and Kayla Lewis followed with a two-run homer to right-center, tying the game at 3-3. Jasmine McQueen bunted down the third base line for a single and Danielle Garay kept the Brettes going with a single to left field. She and McQueen advanced on a passed ball and Jenna Shingary was walked to load the bases for KSU with one out. The Brettes were unable to capitalize as Burrell popped out foul to the catcher and Lamara Parker flew out to deep center field.

Tuskegee's Bria Young got a leadoff single to short center on the first pitch in the Tigerettes' 2nd and they would score two runs on a throwing error by third baseman, Lewis. At the end of the second inning, Tuskegee held a 5-3 lead over KSU.

On a wild pitch, McQueen scored to tie the game at 5-5. With two outs and runners at the corners, Shingary blasted a homerun to left field, giving KSU the 8-5 lead.

KSU held Tuskegee scoreless in the bottom of the third and in the top of the fourth, the Tigerettes brought in Latifah Kelly to pitch. The Tigerettes played solid defense, holding KSU scoreless through the fifth inning.

The sixth inning proved fatal for the Tigerettes as KSU scored 4 runs to take a 12-5 lead. Tuskegee got a runner on in the bottom of the sixth, but the inning ended on a double play as Young lined out to McQueen who threw back to first for the double play.
