The Lady Cardinals posted a run in their half of the first inning, and that was the only run of a tight game. “We were able to take advantage of four walks and an error for a win to get us into the finals of the losers’ bracket,” stated Cardinal coach Todd McGee. Halley Beckham (15-14) only gave up two hits, both infield singles, and struck out eight in the game. She and Kasey Martin each hit singles in the game.

The Lady Cardinals opened the game with a run in the first, but Riverside quickly regained the lead and held on to end Adamsville’s season. “We came out ready to play against a very talented team,” said McGee.

“Unfortunately, we did not drive in runs when we had a chance to break the game open. We left nine runners on during his game.” Halley Beckham (15-15) took the loss on the mound, but McGee believed she threw a good game. She scattered seven hits while striking out nine and allowing only two earned runs.

Hillary Combs hit a double in the game, and Alaina Davis and Madalyn Bruce had the team’s other two hits.
