After several delays and a change of umpires due to the length of time from the start of the game to the finish, our Jasper County Lady Eagles defeated Tremont with a final score of 8-7. The Lady Eagles took the lead in the first inning with one run and maintained the lead adding another run in the third. At the top of the fourth inning, Tremont puts one on the board, however, Jasper County retaliated with three. Each team scored one in the fifth and Tremont scored one in the sixth to Jasper County’s two. The definite win for the Eagles started to fade as Tremont added four to the board, but the Lady Eagles pulled out the win.
