Williams leads Lady Bears past Jefferson, 7-6
Murphy Williams led the Gladewater Lady Bears to a come-from-behind 7-6 victory over the Jefferson Lady Dawgs last Tuesday. Williams, the granddaughter of the late Jack V. Murphy, a former Gladewater AD and head football coach, went 3 for 4 at the plate scoring two runs and collected her fifth win in the pitcher’s circle notching nine strikeouts. Williams and the Lady Bears overcame a shaky start which allowed Jefferson to score four runs in the first inning on two hits. In the bottom of the inning, Williams led off with a single and scored on Kiley Wragg’s double. A single by Miranda Reid plated Wragg made the score 4-2. Jefferson scored two runs in the top of the second inning and Gladewater responded
with two runs of their own. Williams singled, Wragg reached base on an error and Reid delivered with an RBI single. Michaela Reid reached base on a fielder’s choice that also plated her sister to make the score 6-4. Williams and the Lady Bear defense shut-out the Lady Dawgs allowing only one hit for the rest of the game. In the bottom of the fourth, Wragg got on base with a single and Michaela Reid reached base on a hit-by-pitch. Caitlyn Mackey’s single plated Wragg and Reid to tie the score 6-6. Mackey scored the winning run on McKensie Pettit’s RBI single which proved to be the game winning hit.
