Adairsville had to kick off their season on the road on Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Southeast Whitfield County Raiders 5-3. The win was some much needed relief for the Tigers as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Jordan Clay spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brie Patterson, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. The team also got some help courtesy of Kylie Perine, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Adairsville didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 14-1 victory vs. Pepperell on the 5th. Southeast Whitfield County has also already played their next game, a 5-4 loss against Cedartown on the 6th.
