Lexi Patterson homered twice in Game 2, but Mississippi Gulf Coast lost twice Tuesday at Meridian. The Eagles won 4-1 and 10-6.
Patterson (Fr., Ackerman/Choctaw County) hit a three-run homer in the first to give the Bulldogs (25-22, 9-17 MACCC) a 4-0 lead in the first inning, and a solo shot in the fifth for a 6-3 advantage.
The Eagles (29-22, 15-11) scored twice in the sixth, tied it with a bases-loaded walk in the seventh, and ended it with a grand slam.
Brooklyn Mitchell (So., Gulfport/St. Patrick) had two doubles, and Natalie Jones (So., Lucedale/George County) also had a double. Baleigh Tullos (So., Hurley/East Central) had two hits.
Caroline Batson had two hits in the opener and scored the only run on a Kailee Lawson single.
