After having lost a blowout in their previous game, Mountain Heritage was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They had just enough and edged out the Madison Patriots 5-4. This was a revenge game for the Cougars: when they faced off against the Patriots last Tuesday, they had to take a 10-0 loss.
Ella Buchanan spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits. Those hits were her first of the season.
At the plate, Layla Worley was incredible, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. That run was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Addi McKinney, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
