The Lady Panthers had a rough time on the road this week dropping three games to Ravenswood, Roane and Buffalo before coming back to their own turf in a double header against Webster. It was time for a good ol’ fashioned Lady Panther butt kickin’ and a taste of winning.
The Lady Panthers once again brought out the whipping sticks and their base running heated up. Gracie Johnson was firing bullets from the mound; the Highlanders sent them to the plate and Johnson set them down. The Lady Panther defense took care of what little hits the Highlanders had.
The Lady Panthers won the game 8-0. It was on to the second game and the Lady Panthers sent Layla Parker to the dirt pile. There was no way the Highlanders were going to have an easy time. Parker throws fast with just enough touch of surprises to keep batters hoping. The Lady Panthers had on their running legs, as well, in this game with each player making a run for the plate.
When the bats stopped swinging the Lady Panthers got another much needed win beating the Highlanders 11-1. They will have several home games in the next two weeks to finish out the season.
This week they will have a double header against Calhoun on Monday evening, at Gilmer on Tuesday, an LKC placement game on Thursday and Richwood in a double header on Friday. The Lady Panthers will have a full schedule next week, so if you get the chance, get out and catch a game.
