It was a twin bill in Sneads on Tuesday night as the Lady Pirates softball squad hosted Franklin County and the Pirates baseball team played host to Bozeman. In softball action the Lady Pirates broke open a close game in the bottom of the sixth inning and went on to an 8-0 win over their visitors. Karissa Childs was the winning pitcher as she went the distance, allowing no runs on 2 hits and striking out eight Lady Seahawks. The contest was scoreless through four innings but the Lady Pirates finally got on the scoreboard in the fifth inning. Bridgett Dawson and Joni Bonine led off the inning with walks. Kayla Kelley stroked a RBI single to score Dawson. A single by Ashlen Wilson loaded the bases and then Bonine scored on a sacrifice fly by Alisha Edenfield.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, with two outs and Sneads up 2-0, Meagan Smith came off the bench to pinch hit and crushed a shot up the middle. Jolie Johnson came in to run for Smith and scored on a Lady Seahawk error with Dawson at bat. Then the bases got loaded up as Bonine singled and Kelley walked. Wilson then sent a shot down the third base line for a 2 RBI single to score Dawson and Bonine. That put the Lady Pirates up 5-0 but they were not through. Edenfield reached on an error that allowed Kelley to score. Childs helped her own cause with a RBI single to score Wilson. The final run of the inning came when Edenfield scored on a throwing error on a pick play attempt at first base. With the win Sneads improved to 9-3 on the year and will play at Graceville in a district matchup on Thursday evening.
The Pirate baseball squad found the going much rougher as the Bucks of Bozeman jumped out to an early lead and went on to win 16-2. Bozeman plated seven runs in their first three at bats to take a 7-0 lead. Sneads got two runs in the bottom of the third as Jerry Bamburg reached on an error. Aaron Green followed by reaching on a bunt and then Bubba Carpenter moved the runners over on a sacrifice bunt. Bamburg came home to score on a sacrifice fly from Marcus Beauchamp. Trevin Hall sent a shot into the outfield to score Green and make it a 7-2 game. But the Bucks poured it on after that scoring nine more runs in the top of the fifth inning.
