The South Shelby Ladybirds notched their sixth straight victory in a back-and-forth 11-7 win over the La Plata Lady Dogs Monday.
South scored two runs in the first. La Plata got one back in the second then took the lead with a two-run home run by Kohyn Wood in the third. South Shelby took advantage of three La Plata errors to put up five runs in the fourth, but the Lady Dogs then took advantage of a couple miscues to come right back in the bottom half.
South Shelby scored on another La Plata error to go up 8-7 in the sixth, then the Ladybirds had a five-hit seventh to add some insurance runs.
South Shelby’s Jayda Lanpher was named the Freeman Financial and Insurance Outstanding Player of the Game with a 2-for-4 performance. Bella Cook also went 2-for-4. Callie McWilliams earned the complete game win. Layne Mack took the loss for La Plata and was one of three Lady Dogs with two hits along with Wood and Izzy Joyce. They fall to 3-2 while South Shelby moves to 8-4.
