West Union 5

Strayhorn 2

The Lady Eagles remain undefeated in division play after defeating Strayhorn, 5-2 Tuesday night.

Led by Danielle Taylor, West Union produced nine hits in the game, while Taylor only gave up two runs on one hit from the circle.

Kimberly Jumper and Taylor each had multiple hits, including a double by Taylor, as well as Robyn Taylor.

Strayhorn would have a two-run homerun in the sixth, but that was all the offense they would produce in the game.

East Union dethroned the two-time defending Union County Champion New Albany Bulldogs last Thursday, picking up their first county title since 2005.

Only three teams participated in this year's Union County Tournament, as West Union and Myrtle were each playing games in Florida last week. This year's county showdown saw all three teams lose to one another, and going by least amount of runs given up, the Urchins claim the 2009 tournament crown. East Union gave up only eight runs, followed by Ingomar with 15 and New Albany with 16.

A seven-run second inning helped lead the Hawks to their fifth win of the year Tuesday night.

Up 1-0 after the first, the Hawks scored on back-to-back doubles, as well as two passed balls to take the eight run lead after the second frame.

Hickory Flat would score twice in the fourth, and Myrtle would respond with four runs in the fifth to end the game.

Justin Hood (3-1) gave up two runs on three hits, while Cody Matlock gave up nine hits for the Rebels.

The surprise story of the season continues as the East Union Lady Urchins picked up four wins during the North Pontotoc Tournament to remain unbeaten on the year.  One of those wins came in the form of a 10-7 shootout against the Houlka Lady Wildcats.

Houlka plated four runs in the top of the first inning to put the Lady Urchins unbeaten streak in doubt early, but East Union rallied in the bottom half of the inning to score four runs of their own.
