MOULTRIE — Colquitt County’s 14-and-under Rebels have won the two previous softball tournaments they have entered this season.

They will have to win three games in a row if they are to win another today.

The Rebels were dropped to the losers’ bracket of the four-team Georgia Parks and Recreation Department’s Class B District III tournament at the Jim Buck Goff Recreation Complex on Friday when they were pounded by Lee County 15-5.

Lee County had earlier defeat Colquitt County’s Heat 22-0.

The Rebels will meet Tifton at 9:30 this morning in the final losers’ bracket game. The championship game is scheduled for 10:45 a.m.

If Tifton or the Rebels can force the “if necessary” game, it will begin at 1 p.m.

The Rebels started slowly on Friday, leading Tift County just 3-1 after four innings.

But the Rebels erupted for four runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth for a 10-2 victory.

Leah Lindsey drove in the first two Rebel runs with a second-inning single.

Tori Bozeman’s run-scoring double in the third made it 3-1.

In the fifth, the Rebels got consecutive Nikki Kistler, Bozeman, Sabrina Sealy and Kelli Wallace to jump out 7-1.

Jessica Sealy’s two-run triple and a Tifton error led to the final three runs in the seventh.

That sent the Rebels against the Lee County team that needed just four innings to put the Heat away.

And Lee County continued to pound the softball, banging out 29 hits in the game that sent it to the championship game.

The first four batters of the game singled for Lee County, which led 4-1 after the first and 10-2 after the second. The Rebels pulled to with 12-5 in the third, but were unable to score again.

Nikki Kistler led the Rebels with three hits against Lee County. Amber Veasey, Cyndi Young and Kelli Wallace each had two.

Colquitt County’s Heat was eliminated by Tifton, 12-0.
