The Worth County Softball Tigers won one, lost one, and tied one at Eagleville Wednesday evening. Their first game was a 6-1 loss at the hands of Mercer. The second was a 5-5 tie with highly-regarded North Harrison. The third was a 7-2 win over South Harrison.
Assistant coach Tyler Miyashiro said that the games were not indicative of how the team played. Two of the games were played on Eagleville's T-Ball field, meaning balls were really easy to hit out of the yard. That means that Worth County's girls, who are coached by Dave Gilland to hit the top half of the ball, were operating at a disadvantage. But Miyashiro said that, "We did a good job of getting on base and moving runners around." The Tigers jumped out to an early lead against the Shamrocks before North Harrison came back in the last inning to tie it. Worth County faced an improving South Harrison squad in the third game, but took advantage of a wild pitcher to take the victory.
Rikky Hunt, Hailey Hunt, and Payton Adwell each pitched one game. "About everyone contributed that day," said Miyashiro.
