There was no shortage of offensive firepower on display at Cowgirl Field on Tuesday, April 13, when the Madison County High School (MCHS) Cowgirls faced off against the Aucilla Christian Academy (ACA) Lady Warriors. Between the two teams, a total of 18 hits and 25 runs kept the score trackers busy all evening. When the clay settled, it was the Cowgirls who managed to come out on top, 16-9.
The Cowgirls went up 3-0 in the first inning, but the Lady Warriors were determined to make it a close game. The Cowgirls outscored the Lady Warriors 3-2 in the second inning. Then the Lady Warriors rallied with five runs in the top of the third inning. The Cowgirls responded with another three-run inning to regain a slight 9-7 lead. After a scoreless fourth inning, the Cowgirls scored five unanswered runs in the fifth inning, followed by two more Cowgirl runs in the sixth. The Lady Warriors were not quite ready to go quietly into that Tuesday night, when Isabella Gray sent a line-drive, two-run homer over the center-field fence. The Cowgirls were able to dampen any further Lady Warrior rally plans and held on to finish the contest, 16-9.
Isabella Gray had a big night at the plate with two hits in four at-bats, with two RBIs, including one home run. Lauren Davis had one hit in her two trips to the plate, with one RBI. Ali Townsend went two-for-three, with one RBI. Anna Lee Trest had one hit in her three turns in the batter's box, with two RBIs. Kaitee Roberts and Lena Kimmell also contributed to the Lady Warriors' hit-a-thon.
Emma Vickers and Kaitee Roberts both saw action in the pitcher's circle. Together, they gave up 10 hits, 14 earned runs and 11 walks. The Lady Warriors amassed eight strike-outs.
The Lady Warriors will finish their regular season on the road with a game against the Godby High School Lady Cougars, in Tallahassee on Thursday, April 22. The first pitch is set for 6 p.m.
