TCHS WINS OVER RBSHS 10-0 IN SOFTBALL ACTION
Last Monday night the Red Boiling Springs Lady Bulldog Softball team took on the Trousdale County Lady Yellow Jackets in High School softball action and the Lady Bulldogs suffered a 10-0 defeat by a very much improved Trousdale County team.
In years gone by Trousdale County has been down in softball and were the underdog in almost every game they played. That’s all over now as the Yellow Jackets have one of the most improved teams in the state as evidenced by their defeat of the Lady Bulldogs with such ease that it took Lady Bulldog fans by surprise.
Lady Bulldog pitcher Sherena Swoner pitched well enough to make this game a contest but the Lady Bulldog defense was charged with 6 errors and many of those 10 runs were unearned. When you make these kinds of mistakes you are not going to win many ballgames.
Trousdale County pitching was very hard on the bats of the Lady Bulldogs allowing only 3 hits for the entire game. Taylor Coffelt along with Conner Murphy and Sherena Swoner were responsible for the hits for Red Boiling Springs. The Yellow Jackets had 8 hits for the game to support their 10 runs.
Red Boiling Springs now must turn right around and welcome the Lady Tigerettes from Watertown to the Dog Pound on Tuesday night and Watertown brings much the reputation like Trousdale County. The Lady Bulldogs need to get the bats to come alive if they expect to compete against Watertown.
