CORNERSVILLE — It was a close battle in Monday night’s season opener between Cornersville and Community.
After the Viqueens built a late, two-run lead, Cornersville rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh.
In the end, it was an eighth-inning run knocked in by senior Zoey Dixon that secured the Purple and Gold’s first win of the season.
In total, Community hammered Cornersville pitching for 14 hits, with Abi Brown leading the way with four hits, including a double and a triple.
Anna Haskins, along with Dixon, both went 3-for-4.
Annie Prince toed the rubber for seven innings and struck out 10 batters against four walks.
She allowed six runs on seven hits, only three of which were earned.
Taylar Wessnar pitched the final inning in relief and despite giving up two walks, didn’t allow a run to score.
