Savannah Jenkins hit three home runs — one in the second game and two in the first. Each of those home runs came at crucial times.
NATHANIEL FRAZIER For the Eagle So far so good. The Wallace Lady Govs needed to win 12 consecutive games in order to have a chance of making it to the district tournament. They have completed one-third of the task.
“I like how we played today,” head coach David Dews said. “We played hard. We played like we’re supposed to play." In game two, the Pirates had just scored three runs and closed the scoring gap to 6-4. But in the fifth inning , Jenkins’ three-run homer took the momentum away and Wallace never let up. The Govs added three more runs in the sixth inning to end the game early.
The Lady Govs quickly fell behind in the first game. But from the second inning on they rolled thanks in large part to the two homers from Jenkins. She hit a solo home run in the bottom of the second to tie the game at 1-1.
