Broome used a big first inning that saw them score six runs on their way to an 8-2 victory over the Chesnee Lady Eagles on Thursday night.
Broome sent ten batters to the plate in the first inning as Melissa Tucker and Ansley Frady both had two RBI doubles while Peyton Sullivan added an RBI double of her own. Both Tucker and Sullivan's doubles came with two outs in the inning. Broome pitcher Hailey Wells got off to a strong start as she retired the first nine Eagles batters she faced. The Centurions would add two more runs in the second as Frady added her third RBI of the night on a sacrifice fly to center and Mattie Reid hit a RBI single to score Madison Cash. Despite a tough start Chesnee pitching would settle down after the second as they only allowed four hits over the final five innings and no runs. "Our pitchers they battle and fight," said Chesnee Head Coach Tripp Fogle. "You're not going to spin it perfect every night and that happened to us tonight. Paige made some adjustments and things got better for us." Chesnee got a big defensive play in the top of the fourth from center fielder Shenandoah Bishop as she made a diving grab for the final out on a ball headed for the gap. "All of our outfielders have done a great job defensively and not a single one of us in the dugout were surprised she caught it.," said Coach Fogle. In the bottom of the fourth the Eagles would plate two runs as Ali Scruggs would drive in Hannah Henderson for the Lady Eagles first run and later in the in inning Sierra Bowen would score on a double steal. Sam Carver pitched the final two innings for the Eagles as she set down all six Broome batters she faced. The Lady Eagles will return to action this weekend as they compete in the Byrnes Tournament as they will open with Union County at 5pm on Friday night. Comments are closed.
