Baker has been tough for the Suwannee softball team to beat for several years. All that changed Friday, March 18, when the lady Dogs whipped Baker 9-2.

It wasn’t an easy game for the Lady Dogs to win. Katie Smith started on the mound for Suwannee and pitched the entire game. Smith gave up six hits, caught two stealing, gave up two unearned runs and no earned runs. The win sent Smith’s season record to 5-0.

Suwannee got things rolling in the first inning scoring two runs. But the Lady Dogs really put it to Baker in the second, scoring six. The final run was scored in the fourth. Baker scored one run in the second inning and one in the third.

Jenna Jordan once again led Suwannee in the hitting department. Jordan went 2-4 with two singles, two RBIs, one stolen base, one base on balls and one run scored.

Kate Townsend and Lea Schenck both tripled. Townsend scored two runs while Schenck scored one run and had one RBI.

Cortney Ross singled and scored a run. Al Cash went 1-3, singled, scored two runs and stole two bases. Stephanie Starling singled, had one RBI and scored a run. Deanne Wainwright singled and scored a run and George Foster scored a run.
