WCMS softball loses two games at LMS tourney
The WCMS softball team traveled to Lebanon Friday night for two games in the Lebanon Middle School tournament, falling to Mt. Juliet 15-3 and losing 11-2 to Macon County.
Mt. Juliet scored two in the first to take an early lead, but WCMS answered with one run in the second. Mt. Juliet broke open the game in the third, however, putting seven runs across the plate for a 9-1 advantage.
Errors hurt the Lady Pioneers the entire game. WCMS managed to pick up two more runs in the fourth with hits from Kayla Hubbard and Penny Wanamaker, but Mt. Juliet added six runs in the bottom of the fourth and put the game out of reach for the Lady Pioneers.
In the second game WCMS faced Macon County and played a very good ballgame until the third inning, when Macon County exploded for six runs to take the win 11-2.
WCMS scored its only runs of the game in the second after a walk and two hits scored Erin Wolford and Ashley McBee.
Macon County added three runs in the bottom of the second to take a 5-2 lead. WCMS committed several costly errors in the third to give Macon County six runs and the game.
The Lady Pioneers picked up hits from Kayla Hubbard, Wolford, MaCall Cooper and Mullican in the game.
WCMS is scheduled to take on Central Middle School Monday at 4 p.m.
