Union Springs capitalized on them tonight. (Brie) Carter pitched good enough to keep the game close, but too many errors just kept innings going and her pitch count up. Paige Hurlburt pitched the 6th and final inning. Our offense only managed 4 hits as Union Springs’ pitcher Haylee Smith was in control of all her pitches tonight.”
