It was smooth sailing through four games for the Tallassee softball team until it faced off against top-dog Wetumpka last Wednesday.
The Tigers fell 11-1 through just five innings of play with the Indians striking first and early. After the lone score of the day for the Tiger, Wetumpka scored 11 unanswered runs to seal the victory in their favor.
In total, Tallasee racked up a measly three hits with Cheyann Easterling accounting for two of them herself — also scoring the lone run. Marless Osborne was the only other Tallassee player to log a hit on the day.
In the circle it was not much better, Kam Tate and Osborne held the pitching duties. Tate took a bulk of the duty with three innings where she surrendered 10 hits and 11 runs while striking out two batters, walking two and accumulating six errors. Osborne closed the game out where she walked one batter and struck out two, but by that point the game was already in Wetumpka’s favor.
Tallassee will get an extended period of time off thanks to spring break before returning to action against Prattville Christian next Thursday.
