Woodstock, Ga. - The Heritage Generals softball team finished unbeaten in two Georgia Dugout Club Classic games on Saturday, tying Mount Paran Christian, 2-2, and defeating Lovett, 12-0.

GAME 1 RECAP

Heritage opened the scoring in the bottom of the second inning. A leadoff double from Ella Blansit and a single for Jenna Ryans allowed Landry White to collect her first RBI of the season and bring home the game’s first run via a sacrifice fly.

The Generals extended their lead in the bottom of the fourth thanks to an RBI infield single from Bree Wilson. She finished the game 1-for-2 with the RBI single.

Addie Edwards spun her best game of the season in the circle. Despite two unearned runs, Edwards collected a season-high 14 strikeouts while scattering five hits across six innings of work. She has not allowed an earned run in 27.0 innings this season.
