FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — Corbin dropped its third game in a row on Monday while participating in the Florida Softball Beach Bash.
The Lady Redhounds (4-6) fell behind 5-1 against Central Hardin before losing, 7-4. Corbin had dropped a 6-2 decision to Raceland on Sunday.
“We are battling it out with the best teams in Florida,” Corbin coach Crystal Stidham said. “So proud of the efforts my girls are putting in and getting our footing. We have had big moments at the plate and times in the game against both Raceland and Central Hardin. We couldn’t piece the hits together like we should have in the Raceland game, had opportunities, but left runners on, but we were putting ball in play. Danni Foley pitched heck of a game, they just connected on a few hits in sixth inning to score six. She struck out 10 batters, they only had six hits on the day, it was one of those games that just fell their way that day. Raegan Walker, Anela Sanders, and Raegan Hinkle were dialed in at the plate. Walker was 4-for-4, Hinkle was 2-for-3, and Sanders went 2-for-4, while Hicks, Housley, and Stewart each tallied on hits in the game. “Today’s game against Central Hardin was the first full game Kallie Housley has gotten to pitch this season for us and our defense was on point,” she added. “They hit quick but my girls were doing business, they had 10 hits in seven innings, but a few shots just went their way today. We gave ourselves a chance and took advantage of plays, They are solid and made big plays as well. They are a great team and this being Kal’s first full seven inning game, she was working her pitches and really finding her stride back on the mound.”
Stidham said she was pleased with the way her team hit the ball against Central Hardin.
“Danni Foley and Alana Stidham both collected a couple hits, Foley with two doubles and Stidham with two hits,” she said. “Kennedie Guiher had a timely hit to score an RBI, and Anela Sanders and Raegan Walker each connected with a hit each. Walker had a double for her hit. Such good things came from this game — both games actually. My ladies are here to grow, and grow we shall, facing big time competition. We are here to get better and that we are. Let’s Go Lady Redhounds.”
