WILLIAMSBURG — Angela Singleton’s Whitley County Lady Colonels continue to show they’re a threat in the 13th Region as long as they continue to hit the ball like they have, and not commit many errors in the defensive side of things.
The Lady Colonels fought back from a 6-4 deficit with a run in the third inning, and a run in the fifth inning before securing the win with eight runs in the top of the seventh inning to get the 14-6 win.
“I’m so proud of the grit these girls showed tonight,” Singleton said. “ The girls came out and scored, and then McCreary scored some more. The girls battled back and forth and then they came alive in the top of the seventh. It was a total team effort from all parts.”
Whitley County (9-19) connected with three home runs in the win while out hitting the Lady Raiders, 17-7.
