Lady Pack win three in Cordele tournament
Hood had two hits and Davidson, Jana Harvin and Caitlin Carr each had one hit.
“That was an exciting game,” Phillips said.
The excitement carried over to Saturday.
In their first game, the Lady Packers defeated Phillips’ alma mater Appling County 4-3.
Harper was unable to pitch, but Hancock picked up the slack, striking out four Lady Pirates and picking up the victory.
Colquitt scored three runs in the third and the eventual game-winner in the fifth.
Hood and Kaley Clark each had two hits in the game and Davidson and Bria Wallace each had one.
The victory sent the Lady Packers to the silver division championship game where they blanked Turner County behind the pitching of Hancock, who allowed just two hits and struck out four. May, Clark and Wallace each had hits in the game for the Lady Packers.
After winning three of five games in Cordele, the Lady Packers raised their record to 7-6-1.
The road gets more difficult, however.
On Tuesday, the Colquitt County girls will play host to Lowndes at Packer Park in a game that will not count in the Region 1-AAAAA standings.
On Thursday, the Lady Packers will bus to Douglas for a Region 1-AAAAA game with Coffee.
After the trip to play Coffee, Colquitt County will have three straight home dates, meeting Valdosta on Tuesday, Sept. 16, Northside on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Tift County on Tuesday Sept. 23.
