Lady Trojan softball takes a turn for the worse

Erratic pitching in the first inning and sloppy defense in the second cost the Lamar County Lady Trojans their first home loss of the season as they fell to Upson-Lee 7-4 here last week.

The Lady Knights took advantage of three walks and a pair of hits to score four first inning runs. They added three unearned runs in the second inning thanks to four Lamar errors to lead 7-0.

The Lady Trojans and pitcher Abby Walker settled down after that and held Upson scoreless the rest of the way on two hits, a walk and a hit batter. Lamar whittled away at the seven run deficit but could not get the big hit to get enough runs to catch up. [Full Story »]

In perhaps the program’s biggest win in a decade, the Lamar County Trojans christened their new stadium with a 31-0 throttling of the Spalding Jaguars Friday night.

The shutout win was all the more sweet in that several Spalding players boasted in the days leading up to kickoff that they would hang 50 points on the new Trojan Field scoreboard.

The stands were a sea of blue as a capacity crowd answered the team’s call for a Blueout.
