While the Stuttgart baseball team needed ten innings to put away White Hall on Monday night, Coach Chason Bowman’s Ladybirds softball team used far fewer innings to defeat Barton. Stuttgart hammered the Lady Bears 15-0 in three innings running their overall record to 10-1.
Stuttgart scored six runs in the first inning and nine runs in the second to support starter Emma Banks as she searched for her ninth win of the year.
Hagan Hord enjoyed a three out of three afternoon which included two RBIs and three runs scored. Lauren Spoon and Madelyn Maynard each had two-hit days with the duo accounting for six of Stuttgart’s 15 runs. In total, Stuttgart delivered ten hits and walked four times against the Lady Bears. Stuttgart did not strike out a single time against Barton.
