It's playoff time, and Tuscaloosa County had no trouble coming through when it counted. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Hoover Buccaneers on Tuesday. For the Wildcats, this counts as revenge for the 10-1 win the Buccaneers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.
Karlie Beth Beasley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jaslene Belden was excellent, going 3-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Jana Nichols also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
