It was nice to end area play with a win,” W.S. Neal Lady Eagle head coach Jeff Haney said. “Finishing 4-4 in the area is not where we wanted to be, but we have the area tournament to make up for that. The girls did a good job at the plate in the first couple
innings scoring eight in that time. We had three hits and four stolen bases in the fifth to get four more runs. Kaitlin did a great job pitching, and was able to overcome a couple of errors early that led to their runs.”
