SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – As dominantly as Anna Yell was pitching, she wasn’t going to need much offensive help.
Boy, did her Whitwell softball teammates give her more than enough anyway.
Every Lady Tigers batter collected at least one hit as they pounded out 16 total, while Yell allowed just three hits and totaled seven strikeouts in an 11-1 six-inning whipping of host South Pittsburg for the District 5-A championship Friday evening.
“When we’re hitting like that, I don’t think anybody in our class can stop us,” said Yell, who also had two hits, including an RBI double, and scored twice.
The Lady Tigers had already run-ruled the Lady Pirates in their two previous meetings, but there was no overlooking their cross-county foes. After Whitwell took the lead in the third inning, the six-run fourth blew the game open.
