Piedmont Academy’s Middle School softball team defeated Arlington 17-5 last week as Lauren Mosley earned the win after recording nine strikeouts.

Mosley pitched all four innings and was also 1-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and two runs scored. Also in the win, O’Neil Sealy was 2-for-2 with two RBI and two runs scored. Ashley Johnston finished the game 2-for-2 with a run scored.

Also contributing were MaKennah Holifield (2-for-2, two RBI, one double), Cassidy Cook (2-for-3, two runs) and Lucy Tuggle and Baylee Keesee (two walks, two runs). Mattie Johnston and Rylee Owens both walked and score a run with Summer Strother scoring three runs. Ivy English had two walks and Gracie Hunt drew one walk.

The Lady Cougars lost to Tattnall Square 7-1 Saturday. Sealy worked four innings and recorded six strikeouts.

“Tattnall was by far the worst game we’ve played all year,” coach Dan Funt said. “We got beat in all facets of the game. We need to continue to improve and work on the mistakes that we have made. We still have a lot of season left. I am looking forward to playing more games.”

Cook and Sealy were both 1-for-2. Keesee drew a walk and Hailey Hooper advanced to base after being hit by a pitch.
