Girls softball team is playing close but falls short in 3 out of 4 games

Lindley Hall pitched against Aquinas in Tuesday's Lady Tiger softball game but the Fighting Irish prevailed, winning over W-W by a score of 4-3.

Playing against two AAAA schools and one AAA school, the Washington-Wilkes Lady Tigers softball team outscored its opponents 17-12 in a Hart County tournament last weekend. That's the good news.

The bad news is that those runs translated into only one win in the three games as the Tigers went 1-2 for the outing to open their 2006 season.

On Friday, the ladies fell short to a strong Hart County team of Bulldogs by a score of 0-4. All of Hart's runs were unearned and the result of four Tiger errors. Otherwise, neither teams produced any offense, according to head coach Rob Jackson, and there was a total of only five hits in the ball game.

The second game of Friday's doubleheader paired the Tigers against Cedar Shoals. Led by Lindsey Guin and Nikki Freeman, W-W pounded out the win by an easy 143 margin. Guin was 3-for-4 at the plate with three rbi and Freeman was 2-for-4 with four rbi. Freeman picked up the win on the mound going five innings. Lindley Hall finished it out in the sixth.

Hall also took the mound for the third game of the tournament on Saturday but a time limit shortened the game to five innings and the Tigers came up short against ClarkeCentral 3-5.

W-W was not able to capitalize on four innings of loaded bases, during which they scored only two runs, Jackson reported.

The Lady Tigers travel to Thomson today (August 24) for a 5 p.m. game against the AAA Thomson Bulldogs.
