On Saturday in Ludowici the Lady Tide faced the Lady Sharks in a double-header.

The leading batters in the late game were Rylie Poppell, who was 1 for 2 with a double and two walks, Todd, who was 1 for 2 with one RBI, and Jefferson who was 2 for 3 with two singles.

Long County head coach Tyler Chambliss praised his team both on offense and defense.

“It all starts with pitching and defense, we have a high-powered offense that we feel can score runs against anyone. As long as we execute on the defensive side of the ball we feel we can compete with anyone”, said Chambliss.

On Tuesday the Lady Tide traveled over to Brunswick to take on Glynn Academy.

In that game Long County also dominated picking up the win 8-1.

The Lady Tide remain unbeaten through six games having outscored their opponents 49-2. On Tuesday Long County takes on Pierce County (3-3). That game is in Ludowici and begins at 5:30 p.m.
