RTCA Is Now 4-0

The Lady Crusaders softball team of Robert Toombs Christian Academy took on Citizens’ Christian Academy last Tuesday and got the win as they improved to 4-0 on the season. Meredith Durden got the win for RTCA in the circle and recorded 11 strikeouts in the game.

RTCA picked up a run in the bottom of the first inning with Ellie Graham working the bases. She stole two bases and then came in to score on a throwing error by CCA. That put RTCA on top 1-0.

The Crusaders added three more runs in the third inning when Durden drilled a bases loaded double to put RTCA up 4-0. In the top of the fourth inning CCA was able to work three runs across the plate to close the lead to 4-3.

RTCA bounced back in the bottom of the fourth with the big hit of the inning by Marli McCrannie for a triple. RTCA plated seven runs in that continued from page

frame to push their lead to 11-3. That was all they needed as Durden held in the top of the fifth inning to get the win by the runrule.

Durden not only got the win pitching, but also led the team with 3 RBI’s. This week RTCA was at Liberty County on Tuesday after presstime for a double header. They will be back in action on Thursday when they host Twiggs Academy at 5:30 p.m.
