In the second inning Cooper seized momentum when a fired up Carlson Humpries ripped a triple to left-center field and he would slide into third with the triple and let out a big yell after popping up.
Then the next batter, Tyler Jenkins, Lifted a Sac fly to left that would score Humpries and the Cougars broke on top 1-0. After a ball got away from AHS catcher Rocky Beard Cooper would take a 2-0 lead after two.
