MCHS Softball has Busy Week
The Tigerettes of Macon County had a very busy week this past week. They played three regular season games and then competed in the Play-It-Again Tournament in Clarksville, TN over the Easter weekend.
On Monday the 2nd the Tigerettes hosted Gordonsville. Mary Belton, Kaitlin Main, and Katie Reid picked up the only hits and Reid scored the only run as Gordonsville thumps the Tigerettes 11-1. It just wasn’t Macon’s day as they commit ten fielding errors in the game.
On Tuesday the 3rd Macon traveled to Westmoreland. Maybe the Gordonsville loss lit a fire in the belly of the beast as the Tigerettes whip the Lady Eagles by a score of 13-0 in five innings. Kaitlin Cartwright goes plum off, going 3 for 3 with 5 RBIs and two home runs in the game. It is no wonder that Cartwright has been recognized by Coach Braswell with this week’s “Player of the Week” honor.
On Thursday April 5th, the Tigerettes pick right up where they left off earlier in the week. They put a hurtin’ on District 9 AA rival Sycamore. The Tigerettes collect 9 hits as Cartwright and Jessica Lancaster each collect 4 RBIs in the game. MCHS defeats Sycamore by a final score of 13-3 with only one of the three runs being earned.
Over the Easter weekend, Macon County traveled to Clarksville to play in the Play-It-Again Tournament in Clarksville, TN. Over 30 teams from 4 states participated in the Silver Bracket as MCHS played in Pool C. On Friday MCHS beat Graves Co. KY 8-0 and dropped a game to Kenwood by a score of 5-0. On Saturday they came back and beat McEwen 5-3 to advance to the single elimination tournament.
