Late unearned runs
do in Lady Twisters
Gibson County pushed two runs across the plate in the top of the seventh inning on an error and then kept Union City scoreless in the bottom half to beat the Lady Tornadoes 2-0 in prep softball Wednesday.
Brittany Parker (5-4) was the hard-luck losing pitcher as GC’s first three batters in the top half of the seventh reached, two scoring on a miscue, before Sadie Hollis came on.
Parker had a solid effort, allowing just five hits while striking out two, walking two and hitting two batters. Hollis had one strikeout.
Union City (17-10) managed just two hits, both by Bettye Claire Beachum.
The Lady Twisters host McKenzie this afternoon.
