Senior Trinity Queen

The Union County Panthers (4-1, 0-0 region) took on the Fannin County Rebels (0-4, 0-2 region) last night in a non-region game. It just so happened to be the Union County Panthers senior night, and their two seniors really showed up and showed out.

Senior Hannah Patton

Senior Trinity Queen, number 13, started on the mound for the Panthers. She was able to keep the Fannin County Rebels guessing, striking out 7 through 3 innings and not allowing a hit. Sierra Burnette came in in relief, pitching the last inning of the game and striking out one while not giving up a hit either, as the Panthers combined to pitch a no hitter!

The offense was ignited in the first inning by senior Hannah Patton, when she doubled on a hard hit ground ball to left field that scoredChloe Potts, who had also doubled earlier in the inning. Patton would later score on a ground ball hit by Lexi Sissum.

In the second inning, the Panthers would really tack on some runs. Two errors in the inning on balls put in play by Lexi Sissum and Emma Roxbury, a walk by Chloe Potts and a single by Caley Davis and Senior Hannah Patton would help the Panthers score 6 runs and take a 8-0 lead heading into the third.

The Fannin County Rebels just could never figure out Trinity Queens stuff, being unable to answer in the third inning as 3 of the 4 batters that came up to the plate in the third were struck out.

Jayden Bailey was on the mound for Fannin and took the loss, tossing three innings and allowing 13 runs on 11 hits.

The Panthers bats were unstoppable, as Davis, Ansley Collins and Patton all managed multiple hits.

 

 

The Seniors for Union really stole the spotlight last night, and not just because it was senior night. Trinity Queen was able to throw a combined no hitter and drove in a run while Hannah Patton was able to go 2-3 at the plate and drive in 3 RBI’s while going 7-7 in the field.

 

Fannin County will take on Chestatee in their next game on Monday, August 31st at 5:30 at home. Union County will take on Lumpkin County in Lumpkin on August 31st.
