Ridgeland rallied for eight runs in the fifth inning Friday to defeat Pepperell at the Dalton Lady Cat Classic at Heritage Point Park.
The Lady Panthers (3-2) trailed 5-0 entering what turned out to be the game’s final inning due to time constraints. They sent 11 batters to the plate, with Jenna Morgan getting the scoring started with a one-out RBI single. After Cordasia Watkins made it 5-2 with a run-scoring single, the Lady Dragons committed an error to bring home another run.
Makayla Pope was hit by a pitch to make it a one-run game, and Bryanna Goldsmith followed with a two-run double for the tying and eventual winning runs. Morgan, Watkins and Elly Barnes each had two hits for Ridgeland.
