FULTON, Miss. – Game one of the Indians (7-2) doubleheader with Snead State Tuesday was a battle from the start, but the tribe took advantage of three errors and timely hits to pick up the 4-3 win.
The Indians plated their first run in the second when Samantha Conley (Mandeville, La) scored on a throwing error as she advanced to third after a walk by Macey Cox (Troy, Tenn.), who finished the day 2-for-2.
After Snead State plated a run on back-to-back doubles to tie the game in the top of the third, the Indians regained the lead in the bottom of the frame as Hannah Williams (Philadelphia) scored on a sacrifice fly Conley and Meg Sullivan (Springville, Ala.) scored on a ground out.
Sullivan reached on an error in the fourth that allowed Cori Childs (New Site) to score and give the Indians a 4-1 lead.
