Against Macon County the Lady Pioneers’ only run came in the third, when Lacey Griffith scored on a triple by Brittany Patterson.

In the Karns game, Warren County picked up two runs in the second when Kendra Savage hit to score Alex Mullican and Penny Wanamaker hit to score Sara Tanner. In the fifth Mullican scored on a hit from Tanner and Wanamaker scored when Shelly Hayes doubled.

In the Sweetwater game Warren County picked up only two hits. Crystal Jones and Tara Wood had one each.

The Lady Pioneers scored seven runs against Cleveland. Wanamaker had three hits, while Hayes, Tanner and MaCall Cooper picked up two hits each. Savage, Nickey Poe and Emily Smith added one hit each.

The Lady Pioneers were scheduled to play Tullahoma Monday, but the game was canceled due to rain. Warren County’s next scheduled home game is set for Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against Lebanon.
