When teams are struggling, bad things seem to befall them. It’s been a struggle for this year’s Lady Barons team. Limited experience at many positions, the team was 2-7 going into Monday’s game versus Dodge County. Four runners thrown out on the basepaths were part of another tough day.
Kaylee Rae Barrs takes the unassisted out at first base.
Down 1-0 in the first, two runners were caught stealing. Trailing 5-0 in the fourth, BC scored two runs on two outs. It was 6-2 in the fifth and the bases were loaded with one out. But a runner was thrown out at home plate after trying to tag on a fly ball.
Lyric Stephens beats the ball to second base.
Dodge scored twice in the seventh. The first two Lady Barons reached to begin the home half but one of them was tagged out at home when trying to score on a wild pitch. Though another wild pitch would score a runner, BC lost 8-3.
Emma Wilson squeezes a pop fly.
Lyric Stephens went 2 for 3 with a triple. Jada Davis was 1 for 2 with an RBI double. BCMS plays at West Laurens September 24. Game time is 4 pm.
