Lady Jackets rout Bryan County

Jeff Davis High’s softball team took a pair of 15-0, 3-inning victories over Bryan County last Thursday in Hazlehurst as they rebounded from a 5-1 loss to Bacon County Tuesday in Hazlehurst.
In the Lady Jackets’ softball tournament over the weekend, Jeff Davis fell 9-5 to Pinewood Christian as errors led to seven unearned runs by Pinewood. In the other tournament game, the Lady Jackets downed Wheeler County 13-2 in five innings.
The Lady Jackets couldn’t get the bats working against Bacon.
They scored a single run in the bottom of the first inning but couldn’t get any more runs across the plate. They carried the 1-0 lead into the fifth inning when the Lady Raiders went up 2-1 with a pair of unearned runs and then Bacon added three insurance runs in the top of the seventh.
Karli Williams drove in FeFe Green with a first inning double for the Lady Jackets’ only run. Green had a double, and Bianca Torres, Jakhia Green and Caroline Waters each had a single.
Lindsey White took the loss, despite blanking Bacon through the first four innings before errors allowed Bacon to score their two unearned runs in the fifth. She gave up three hits, walked three and fanned three. Lanie Scott pitched the final two innings, giving up two earned runs on two hits, walking two and striking out none.
The loss was the second Region 2-AA loss for Jeff Davis as they fell to 6-2 in the region.
