George Wythe had lost three games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 7-11 on Monday that streak is in the rearview. They walked away with a 7-2 win over the Giles Spartans. This was a revenge game for the Maroons: when they faced off against the Spartans two weeks ago, they had to take a 7-4 loss.
Morgan Layne spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Temperence Smith, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. Madison Hatcher also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.
As for Giles, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-7. Spartans fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against George Wythe since on Monday.
On Giles' side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Addie Lowry gave up four earned (and three unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up six Ks. Lowry has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Giles saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Summer Ceritano, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI. Another was Addisyn Vanderpool, who got on base in two of her three plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
Coming up, George Wythe will face off against Auburn at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Maroons will need to watch out since the Eagles have now posted at least ten runs in their last three matchups. Giles does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
