On the other side, Austin Bowie is back in familiar territory after reaching the state finals in 2017. The last couple of years the Bulldogs have dealt with team injuries but this squad is healthy and ready to return to state lead by Auburn signee Abbey Smith.
Both these teams know how to put runs on the board. Judson has a team batting average of .414 and Bowie bats .378 respectively. This series will come down to who can get the big outs at the right time.
PREDICTION: Judson advances winning the series 2-1
