WILLIAMSBURG — The Clay County Lady Tigers are peaking at the right time while Angela Singleton’s Whitley County Lady Colonels continue to struggle.

Whitley County’s Caylee Singleton tossed seven innings, surrendering only five hits and two earned runs while striking out six batters.

Anna Samples’ two run homer turned out to be just what the Lady Tigers needed in the win while Hallie Huddleston led the Lady Colonels with two hits and a run scored. Jadynn Johnson drove in a run with a hit, collecting Whitley County’s lone RBI.
