The Lady Pirates traveled to Atlanta last Friday night to match up against the Lady Rabbits of Atlanta. Bailey Smith took the mound for Pittsburg, going three innings and recording seven strikeouts. Kaycee Parker also pitched three innings, chalking up three K’s. Atlanta would strike first early, gaining a 1-0 lead on the Lady Pirates. After Smith struck out the first batter, the next batter up laid down a well-executed bunt, putting a baserunner on first for the Lady Rabbits. After stealing second, the Atlanta player moved over to third base thanks to an error made by Pittsburg. The fourth batter up put the ball in play for Atlanta allowing them to plate the runner from third; Smith stopped the scoring threat with a strikeout to end the inning.
