Going into extra innings after a scoreless regular contest, the Lady Bengals loaded the bases with only one out and closed out the game.
"My pitcher did a phenomenal job," Miller said. "My second baseman came up huge with the game-winning hit and my right fielder caught a ball that would've been a run."
