The Russell County Lady Laker Softball team dropped a 9-1 game to Pulaski County on Thursday night, falling to 4-2 on the season.
The Lakers fell behind 2-0 early and cut it to 2-1 in the 2nd inning, but the Pulaski County offense was too much while the Lady Lakers struggled at the plate, finishing with just 3 hits on the day.
Sophie Shearer, Emma Popplewell, and Tarryn Reynolds recorded hits for the Lady Lakers, and Caroline Wells drove in the lone Russell County run.
Reynolds pitched 7 innings, giving up 10 hits and 9 runs but only 4 earned thanks to 6 Russell County errors on the day. Reynolds also struck out 4 batters.
The Lady Lakers will look to get back on track tonight when they host Adair County in a 2A Tournament Sectional game. First pitch is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
