With a 26-6 record and a state tournament quarterfinal berth to their credit, the Stuttgart Lady Ricebirds’ 2021 season came to a close on Friday afternoon following a 10-0 loss to Pea Ridge. Four defensive miscues combined with struggles at the plate proved to be Stuttgart’s undoing.
Pea Ridge scored one run in the first, three in the second, and six in the third to place the Ladybirds in a hole too deep to emerge from. The Lady Blackhawks used eight hits and four walks to generate the ten runs with Blakelee Winn’s three-run home run in the third inning proving to be the backbreaker.
