WILLIAMSBURG — To say Whitley County came out hitting on all cylinders during its game against Bell County could be an understatement.
The Lady Colonels snapped a four-game losing streak while putting up their best offensive numbers of the season during Wednesday’s 20-2 three-inning win over the Lady Bobcats.
After seeing Bell County (4-4) score two runs in the top of the first inning, Whitley County (5-13) responded with 15 runs in the bottom of the first.
The Lady Colonels added five more runs in the bottom of the second inning while Mackenzie Lunsford sealed the deal in the pitcher’s circle in the top of the third to record the 18-run win.
“The girls came out hot with the bats tonight,” Whitley County coach Angela Singleton said. “Kenzie did a great job in the circle and the defense had her back. Still made a few errors but our bats were able to give us some wiggle room.”
Whitley County connected with two home runs in the win with Jadynn Johnson, and Ciara Pittman each delivering one apiece.
Amber Brown turned in a perfect 3-for-3 effort at the plate while driving in two RBI, and scoring twice. Kara Canada was 2-for-2 with three RBI, and two runs scored while Hallie Huddleston turned in a 2-for-2 effort while driving in a run, and scoring once. Morgan Huddleston finished 2-for-3 with one RBI, and two runs scored while Adalee Johnson had two hits, one RBI, and scored three times.

Ryleigh Petrey had a hit, an RBI, and a run scored while Jayden Barton finished with an RBI, and two runs scored. Charley Chaney drove in a run, and scored three times.
