Lady Tigers Go 1-1 On The Week
Commerce Travels To Social Circle Thursday
By Brandon Reed
It was an up and down
week for the Commerce
Lady Tigers, as they lost
their first region game
of the season to Hebron
Christian Academy last
Tuesday then followed it
the next day with a tow
ering non-region victory
over Johnson.
Commerce is 3-1 in the
region and 6-10 overall.
The Lady Tigers were
scheduled to travel
to Towns County on
Tuesday to face the Lady
Indians, who have lost
twice to Commerce this
year. Results of that game
were not available at press
time. Check www.main-
streetnews sports.com
for scores and updates
throughout the week.
Up next for Commerce
is another road trip on
Thursday, this time to
Social Circle. First pitch
in that game is scheduled
for 4:45 p.m.
Hebron
After winning their first
three region games, the
Lady Tigers faced Hebron
Christian Academy last
Tuesday, which was also
undefeated in region
play
Unfortunately, the
Tigers took the loss, 5-1.
“We just didn’t have
our ‘A’ game," said coach
Pam Canup. “We missed
some routine things that
we shouldn’t have. That’s
one of those things that
happens sometimes.’’

hits
Andrews all had
against Hebron.
Brooklynn Stinchcomb
recorded the loss while
striking out six and walk
ing two batters from the
mound.
Perfect At Johnson
As disappointing as the
Hebron loss may have
been, the Lady Tigers hit
their stride a day later
with a trip to Gainesville
to face Johnson. It was
no contest, as Commerce
crushed the Lady Knights
11-0.
And if Stinchcomb had
been disappointed in
the Hebron contest, she
made up for it at Johnson,
tossing a perfect game in
which she fanned 12 of
15 batters.
Wilkes, Beauchamp,
Ashley Lord, Jessika Kyle
and Haiden Nunn all had
hits against Johnson.
Stinchcomb also went
2-for-4 at the plate.
