Coming off a tough loss to Henderson County earlier in the week, the Christian County Lady Colonels were in need of a rebound win Thursday night as the Union County Bravettes came rolling into town. Led by freshmen Alondra Rodriquez and Alyssa Petterson, the Lady Colonels got just that in the form of a 6-3 win.
Things got off to a bit of a bumpy start for the Lady Colonels as Union County scored twice in the bottom of the first to take the early lead.
The Lady Colonels came back with two runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. Jazzy Tejada grounded out to score Chloe Almy and cut the lead to 2-1. Alyssa Petterson then singled to drive in Alondra Rodriguez and tie the game after one.
Avery Adcock scored on a Union County error in the bottom of the third to put Christian County up 3-2.
Another Union County error allowed Jayda Turned to cross the plate in the bottom of the fourth, pushing the lead out to 4-2.
Union County got one of the runs back in the top of the fifth, cutting the lead to 4-3.
The Lady Colonels put the game away in the bottom of the sixth when Avery Adcock scored on an error and Alondra Rodriguez homered to left field.
Rodriguez finished 2-3 with the home run, an RBI, and two runs scored. Alyssa Petterson was 3-4 with an RBI. Avery Adcock finished 1-1 with 3 walks and two runs scored.
Petterson got the win in the circle, starting and going four innings. She allowed two runs on five hits, striking out none and walking one.
