As the visitors in the second game, the Cougars jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the third with Chance Jackson (2-for-3, R) being knocked in by Braxton Chastang (1-for-3, RBI).

The lead was on there for a short period of time with the Chiefs getting on the board in the bottom of the inning with four runs to go ahead by the final 4-1.

Escambia Academy failed to hold the lead in the first game of the series with Lakeside jumping out to a 3-0 lead before the Cougars put a run on the board in the bottom of the fourth.

In that inning, Lakeside added one more run to go up 6-4 and put the game away in the Cougars’ final at-bat.
