Patient Lady Rams down St. Vincent

Thursday, September 2, 2010

SCOTT CITY -- The Scott City Lady Rams pounded out 12 hits and drew 11 walks as their patience was key in their 11-7 victory over the visiting St. Vincent Lady Indians on Wednesday afternoon.

"We were very patient at the plate and put (St. Vincent) in a situation where they had to make a pitch," Scott City head coach Amy Pobst said. "We started the game really good and kind of let down towards the later innings but, overall I though we played well."

Scott City (2-0) jumped out to 6-0 lead before St. Vincent got on the board with two runs in the fourth inning. Lady Rams starter Alexis Spriggs went the full seven innings allowing all four runs on 11 hits and one walk. Five of St. Vincent's hits came in their four-run seventh.

Spriggs led her team with three hits, including a double, and two RBI while Julie Holder and Sarah Heisserer each had two hits. Heisserer ended the game with four RBI.
