Lady Rebels Feel Talons of Eagles

Last Thursday, the Lady Rebels softball team traveled to Gainesville, Georgia, to take on the Chestatee War Eagles. Both teams were looking to redeem themselves from the tough losses they endured their games prior to the matchup.

Fannin hit the field first where the War Eagles got an early lead. They started hitting the ball in all of the right places and getting runs on the board. After Chestatee scored two runs, the Rebels got their third out and started swinging the bats. Fannin had a hard time putting the ball into play on offense until the third inning where they put two runs on the board and tied the game.

The Lady War Eagles continued the trend at the bottom of the fourth inning by adding two more runs to the score where the Lady Rebels were unable to do the same. Fannin started to make errors on defense, leading Chestatee to continue to add runs to the board. The War Eagles continued to advance their lead while the Rebels were struggling to score more runs. Fannin was having a hard time putting the ball into play and when they did, it went right to the defense.

Chestatee outhit Fannin 6-4 while the Lady Rebels made 5 errors throughout the game on defense while the Lady War Eagles made two. Although Fannin struggled with their fielding and hitting, they pitched a good game from the mound. Lady Rebel senior, Amelia Sneed, pitched six innings and struck out seven batters. The War Eagles finished the game with a 5-2 victory over the Rebels, putting Fannin’s overall record at 0-4.
