LFO begins final week of regular season

The LFO Lady Warriors found themselves in an old- fashioned pitchers’ duel in Adairsville last Tuesday. Unfortunately for the Red-and-white, the home team would break through with two runs in the final inning to score the Region 6-AAA victory, 2-1.

Only one run scored in the first six innings of play, that coming in the top of the third inning as Britni Newbille singled and scored on a Marissa Moreland Rbi-double. Those would be the only two hits of the game for the Lady Warriors.

Breanna Johnson allowed just five hits and one walk through the first six innings, but that would change in the bottom of the seventh as the Lady Tigers began the inning with back-to-back singles. Then, following a sacrifice bunt, one final single would bring in both runners to end the game.

Sonoraville 6, LFO 3

The Lady Warriors faced off against the Region 6-AAA leader on Thursday and came up short against the top-ranked Lady Phoenix at Chip Liner Field.

LFO got nine hits off region Pitcher of the Year candidate Taylor Long and played errorless defense, despite the loss.

Sonoraville scored twice in each of the first three innings before LFO got half of the runs back in the bottom of the third.

Moreland belted a solo homerun get her team on the board. Then, following a single and a walk, Carlee Wilson scored on an error. Another single and another error would allow Heidi Johnson to come home with a third run. However, that would be all LFO would get.

Breonn Newbille went 2 for 4 and Johnson picked up a double. Breanna Johnson started in the circle and pitched the first inning. She allowed two earned runs on two hits and two walks. Heidi Johnson took over in the second inning and gave up four earned runs on three hits and eight walks.
