On Tuesday, the Vidalia Lady Indians got a Big Region 2AA win against Jeff Davis, defeating the Yellow Jackets 3-1 in Vidalia.  Alli Taufmann, Emma Vinson, and Rileigh Robinson all drove in runs for the Lady Indians, who improved to 9-1 on the year and 4-1 in 2AA Play. Tymber Harris once again had a strong outing, pitching a complete game while giving up no earned runs and recording 8 strikeouts.

The Jacket’s lone run came on a play that saw a Jeff Davis runner try to score from third on a hit to right field. Jesslyn Collins came up throwing, and Tori Wright appeared to put the tag on the runner who was called out by the Homeplate umpire for the 3rd out of the inning. However, after being asked by the Jeff Davis staff to check with the base umpire, the Homeplate umpire reversed his decision, allowing the run to score. (See Video HERE)

The Lady Indians were able to answer with three unanswered runs, including two in the bottom of the 6th inning, to secure the win.

“I am so proud of this team,” said Coach Ben Beck. “They faced a little adversity today and responded so well. We knew after the last game with them our backs were a against the wall a little bit, but these girls came in here after that loss and have practiced and played as hard as we have all year and the results are beginning to show. I like where we are as a team and now we have to keep working hard to end up where we want to be,” Beck added.
