After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Myrtle, Vardaman was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 11-10 victory over the Calhoun City Wildcats.

Vardaman let Gracie Chandler and Hannah Lowe run wild. Chandler went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI, while Lowe went 2-for-5 with three runs and one stolen base. Chandler is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played.

The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games.
