The Tallulah Falls Indians will venture away from home to challenge the Athens Christian Eagles at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Tallulah Falls can't be to happy about their upcoming road game against Athens Christian considering what happened when they opened their season on the road last Friday. Tallulah Falls lost 17-0 to Banks County.
Meanwhile, Athens Christian took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday (and then some). They put the hurt on Cedar Shoals with a sharp 16-0 victory. The win was some much needed relief for the Eagles as it spelled an end to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Ellianna Christian made a splash while hitting and pitching. She pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Christian was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Harper Westbrook was incredible, going 1-for-2 with a home run, three runs, and four RBI. Another player making a difference was Maggie Whitlock, who went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Athens Christian always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cedar Shoals only posted an OBP of .182.
