Ooltewah 3 Rhea 1
This was a tough one. The game was suspended yesterday in the bottom of the second with Ooltewah leading 1-0. Jessica Kerley opened up the 5th with a single. After Selby Kincannon moved her to second with a bunt, Morgan Hidalgo hit a RBI double to tie the score at 1-1.
In the top of the sixth Ooltewah scored two runs on a leadoff double, a Rhea error on the bunt that allowed the run to score from second, then a wild pitch.
Rhea got two hits in the bottom of the sixth after two outs, but could not get a run home.
Rhea out hit the Lady Owls 6-3, but Ooltewah made the most of their chances.
Side note Rhea played today without one of their starting outfielders, and Sara Freels had to leave the game in the forth when she was cleated on a play at second. Her whole shock was soaked in blood by the time she got off the field. The girls were hoping to win one for her, but came up a little short.
One more week, then comes district tournament. Hope the girls keep playing well.
