Lady Cougars earn 8-3 softball win

The PCHS Lady Cougars played a very strong, well coached Willliam Byrd team this afternoon and earned a hard fought victory 8-3.

 

In the first inning the Terriers plated two runs and the Cougars answered with 1.  In the third the Cougars scored another 1 tying it up.

 

As a result of some excellent pitching neither team scored anything in the fourth or fifth innings.  In the top of the sixth Byrd regained the lead scoring 1 run making it 3-2 in their favor.

 

The Cougars answered big in the bottom of the sixth scoring six runs and earning the lead for the first time in the game, 8-3.  The big blow was a grand slam by Victoria Hale!

 

The Cougars taught a lesson in teamwork!  Victoria Hale had two hits and 4 RBIs.  Addison Puckett had 2 hits and 2 RBIs.  Shelby Dobbins and Addison Dean each had 2 hits.  Carley Hight and Emma Nester each had a hit.

 

The Cougar defense was stellar!  Emma Nester laid out fully to glove a hard smash and then threw the runner out from her knees.  Victoria Hale made 7 plays at SS frustrating the Terrier batters.  Sophia Hall went all 7 innings in the circle.  She allowed 3 runs on 5 hits,

 

Both teams played hard, both teams played well and the Lady Cougars came away with the win.  Our next game is tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) at the PCHS Softball field at 5:00.  Come on out and see some exciting well played softball and cheer the Lady Cougars on!
