The Vidalia High
School softball Indians
played three games last
week and added three wins
to their record. They
played a close game with
Emanuel County Institute
on Tuesday in Twin City
and then won easily over
Statesboro High, and Pike
County. Tymber Harris
threw a no-hitter against
Statesboro at home on
Thursday.
vs. ECI
ECI almost made a
late comeback against the
Indians, but VHS held
them off for a one-run vic
tory. Vidalia got the scor
ing started in the top of the
third inning when they put
four runs on the board, but
ECI bounced back in the
bottom of the frame with
two runs to close the lead
to 4-2.
VHS added a run in
the top of the fourth in
ning to push the lead to
5-2, and they needed all of
that. ECI scored twice in
the fifth inning to close it
to 5-4, but the Indians held
over the next two innings
to get the win.
Emma Humphrey led
VHS with 3 RBI’s in the
game with Bailey Holland
and Rileigh Robinson each
adding 1 RBI. Holland got
the win in the circle and
recorded 8 strikeouts

but that was the only run

6-1, and then added two in
