The Lady Bulldogs evened their season and conference records at 5-5 and 2-2, respectively, with a 5-2 victory over Albany on Tuesday. A 3-run 3rd inning was all the Lady Bulldogs would need to get back on the winning track. Lindsey Robertson and the GHS defense held the Lady Warriors to single runs in each of the 2nd and 7th innings.
Robertson’s bat put Gallatin on the scoreboard in the 3rd as she tripled to drive in Lindsey Love, who reached base on an error. Cori Nichols reached on a bunt. Sheila Smith grounded to second and Robertson scored. Nichols stole home with 2 outs to give Gallatin a 3-1 lead.
The Lady Bulldogs tacked on a run in the 5th when Parker again bunted safely, stole both second and third bases, and came home on Katie Ward’s sacrifice fly. Love stole home in the 7th inning to add an insurance run for Gallatin.
Gallatin travels to Trenton Thursday in non-conference action. The Lady Bulldogs are at Lawson on Monday and come home Tuesday looking for their first home win against GRC rival Hamilton.
The Lady Bulldogs dropped an 11-4 non-conference contest to Mid-Buchanan on Monday.
