UNIONVILLE, Tenn. – The Community Viqueens (15-6, 4-0) outlasted the Eagleville Lady Eagles (7-5, 2-1) in a high-scoring affair on Wednesday night, 13-12 after eight innings.

A series of three consecutive singles resulted in the winning run scored by Mattie Maxey after Haylee Webb drove her home with a line drive to left field in the bottom of the eighth. 

The Viqueens’ offense was locked in from the first pitch, tallying 20 hits as a team and leaving just five baserunners stranded all game. Meanwhile, Community’s defense committed six errors to aid the Lady Eagles’ effort.

Gracie Daniel got the start in the circle, going 2.0 innings and giving up five runs – one earned – on six hits with two strikeouts on 44 pitches.

Finally, Kamryn Farrell pitched the final 3.0 innings, giving up three runs – two earned – on four hits with one strikeout on 44 pitches. 

Eagleville jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning after an error helped spark the rally. The Viqueens got three of those runs back in the home half, then scored another in the second to trim the lead to 5-4. 

The Lady Eagles plated two more in the top of the third before the Viqueens squared the game up at 7-7 with another three-run inning in the home half. Neither team scored in the fourth, then both teams plated two runs in the fifth.
