Several runs were also completed on Bainbridge errors or stolen bases.

When the JV team took the field after a short respite, they came ready to win.

Pitcher Armstrong quickly struck out two batters, with the third out coming from a throw from shortstop to first. It was the bottom of the first.

After completing a full batter rotation, the Lady Packers scored eight runs before Bainbridge completed the third out on a pop fly to move the game into the second inning.

Almost every Lady Packer completed a run during the JV game, many completing multiple.

Hewitt, Luckey, Crawford and Ayari Thornton all completed one run.

Completing two were Peyton Arrington, Webb and Madison Ford.

Though they had runners, Armstrong and Tillery also assisted with two runs each after getting first base hits.

With the most runs at three was McKellar.

Of the Lady Packer’s 12 total hits, three were doubles, coming from: McKellar, Armstrong and Crawford.

During the second, the Lady Packers completed five additional runs and then had their remaining four during the third.

Bainbridge’s lone run came during the second inning, and other than that runner only two others successfully made it to first base.

Armstrong pitched the majority of the JV game throwing 50 total pitches to 11 batters. Of those pitches, 21 were strikes and 29 were balls.

Arrington pitched to the last two batters of the third, striking out one.
