South had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 15-0 walloping at the hands of the Emporia Spartans on Saturday.
For Emporia's part, Alivia Anno made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over four innings pitched. Anno was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Addison Kirmer, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Molly Williams, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Emporia made their fans wait, but they earned their first win of the season to make their record 1-2.
While South had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
