Tazewell – Veteran Head Coach Rick Nester entered the season aware of the fact that his 2024-2025 Lady Cavaliers would a much smaller margin for error and the 6-5 setback Thursday night in Tazewell will be one that got away.

Trailing 3-1 entering the top of the sixth inning, Carroll County (3-3) finally broke through with a much needed rally that netted four runs. Raylee Goins and Laynie-Jo Leonard led off and both reached base on hard hit ground balls. Nester went to his bench and pinch hitter Carlie Beamer laid down a great sacrifice bunt to move two runners into scoring position.

Pitcher Emma Harman helped her own cause with a RBI single to score Goins and aggressively took second on the throw. Laiken Burnett produced her third straight productive at bat with a RBI ground out to tie the score. Addie Greene followed by lacing a RBI double and Bayleigh Allen hit a sharp single to plate Greene, making the score 5-3.

Harman went back out to the mound in need of six final outs but unfortunately for Carroll County, the sixth one never happened.

” Emma (Harman) did a great job pitching for us tonight, she did everything that we needed her to do,” said Nester. ” We just cannot afford to give a team extra outs and expect to win ball games. Tonight we gave them six extra outs and it cost us.”

Tazewell trimmed the lead to 5-4 in the bottom of the 6th inning after an error but Harman stranded the tying run on second base. The Cavaliers were retired in order in the seventh inning to set up the dramatic conclusion.

The Bulldogs put the leadoff batter on base with an error but Greene recorded an unassisted force out at second base for the first out. Tazewell followed up with a single and then a double to tie 👔 the game at 5-5, then walked it off with a RBI sacrifice fly.

” We are going to practice tomorrow after school and I’m thinking we will be working on defense from start to finish,” added Nester. ” We did somethings well tonight but struggled with our fielding.”

Harman singled and stole second base in the top of the first inning and came around to score when Burnett hit a rope to the fence in right centerfield. Burnett singled again in the fourth inning but the team remained at one run and three base hits until the big rally.

Carroll County returns to action 🎬 Tuesday night, beginning Three Rivers District play at Glenvar and returns home on Friday afternoon to host James River.
