The Lady Redhounds held a slim 2-1 lead against Whitley County before scoring seven runs in the final two innings while coming away with a 9-1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGoodness what a night. Whitley came out firing which I knew they would,\u201d Corbin coach Crystal Stidham said. \u201cDistrict games are just a different level. Coach Singleton\u2019s squad came out ready and We were really flat to start the game on offense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut Kallie Housley went beast mode again on the mound striking out 12 and only allowing five hits, defense came to back her up,\u201d she added. \u201cAbi Beller made two awesome catches in left snagging shots in the gap and Alayna Reynolds was up and fired on a runner trying to get three and threw her out. Defense wins ballgames and we are working on our unity and just always keeping there\u2019s always another play mentality. The girls will have games where our rhythm is off, but responding well on defense is crucial always.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bailey Stewart turned in a 4-for-4 hitting effort while driving in a run, and scoring twice. Kallie Housley was 3-for-4 with two RBI, and three runs scored while Morgan Hicks delivered another home run, finishing with a hit, two RBI, and one run scored. Danni Foley finished with a hit, and an RBI while Alayna Reynolds had a hit, and scored once. Abi Beller finished with a hit, and two runs scored while Anela Sanders, and Alana Stidham each had a hit apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBailey Stewart was on fire at the plate going 4-for-4 with Kallie Housley right behind her at 3-for-4 at the plate,\u201d Stidham said. \u201cThey both are dangerous when they are on the bags, they are always thinking ahead and ready to go. Several others racked in hits for our team to grab 12 hits in the game. We had some opportunities to grab a few more but had a few missteps. What I\u2019m most proud of though is their drive to find a way and capitalize on opportunities to score. I told them we have to string it together and need to put runs on the board and they kept working. We definitely will be working on a few things and we are still coming together and working through different scenarios every game. So glad to grab this Big district win tonight. Let\u2019s Go Lady Redhounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Housley got the win, tossing a complete game while allowing five hits, and no earned runs. She also struck out 12 batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
