BOGUE CHITTO – The Wesson Lady Cobras spoiled Bogue Chitto’s Senior Night with a 2-0 shutout victory over the Lady Cats Friday night in softball action.

“This was a good win for us against a good team before starting the playoffs,” said Wesson coach Jackie Johnson. “The girls played really well and made the plays needed to get the win. Abbey Smith pitched a great game.”

BC recognized their softball seniors: Adrienne Wallace, Rheagan Welch and Kerri McGehee, in a pregame ceremony as friends, family and alumni gathered to witness the event.

The Lady Cobras (17-4, 8-0) resume action Friday in the second round of the 2A playoffs. They visit the Union Lady Yellowjackets Friday and host Union Saturday. Game times have not been set.

The Lady Cats (17-8, 5-1) will be in action Thursday or Friday. They invade Pelahatchie to battle the Lady Chiefs and return home to host Pelahatchie, Saturday. Game times have not been set.

Wesson 2, Bogue Chitto 0

The Lady Cobras and Lady Cats provided a tough, physical defensive battle as the game went scoreless in three innings of action before Wesson managed to break up the scoreless drought in the fourth.

The Lady Cats made several attempts to answer the Lady Cobras, but Wesson’s defense managed to shut down the opportunities for the win.

Senior Abbey Smith was the winning pitcher for the Lady Cats with five strikeouts and four walks. She pitched a one-hit shutout.

BC pitched a three-man rotation in the contest. Freshmen Christian Black absorbed the setback in relief for the Lady Cats with two strikeouts and two walks. Alana Nettles (2K, 1BB) was the starter. Rheagan Welch (3K, 0BB) pitched the final two innings.

Taylor Smith was the offensive leader for Wesson with three singles. Hanna Brown, Bailey Middleton and Abbey Smith hit safely.

Second baseman Daley Roberts recorded the only hit for the BC offense with a single.

“We did not play well mentally,” said BC coach Scott Leggett. “Our approaches to the plate were bad. The girls have to learn to dig down when the going gets tough and battle through it.”

In junior varsity action, Wesson defeated Bogue Chitto 5-2.

Brooke Page directed the Lady Cobras at the plate with a double. Hitting safely were Harmoni Ashley, Anna Speights, and Olivia Allen.
