Union County Middle softball blasts area-rival Fannin County
Sports, TeamFYNSports, UC Middle August 29, 2019
Blairsville, Ga. – Thanks to a big day at the plate, the Union County Middle softball team took down area-rival Fannin County, 11-3, Thursday, August 29, at Meeks Park.
The Panthers, who are 10-2 on the season, scored four runs in the bottom of the first and fourth innings to earn the five-inning, mercy-rule win.
Illa Bragg, Sloan Dyer, Layla Akins, and Aubrie Akins each drove in two runs, while Georgia Patton went 3-for-3 with two runs scored.
The Union County scoring started in the bottom of the first inning. The Panthers used a walk from Sierra Burnette, a single from Patton, and three stolen bases to earn the 1-0 lead when Burnette stole home.
Patton stole third, and Dyer walked and stole second to give Layla Akins runners on second and third with one out.
Akins delivered, driving a double to center and bringing in Patton and Dyer to give the Panthers the 4-0 lead to end the first.
Fannin County scored once in the top of the second, before Union County tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the frame.
The surge was in part thanks to a Patton single, a walk from Addison Kennedy, and a big triple from Bragg that pushed the score to 6-1. Bragg scored a batter later as Burnette smacked a groundball out to shortstop and moved the score to 7-1.
The Lady Rebels managed to score in the top of the third, hold the Panthers scoreless in the bottom of the inning, and add another run in the top of the fourth.
With the score 7-3 in the bottom of the first, the Panthers put up their second four-run inning of the night.
Patton, Kennedy, Dyer, Aubrie Akins, and Jewel Massey all singled, while Bragg doubled and Dyer added a stolen base to extend the lead to 11-3 headed into the top of the fifth inning.
Bragg struck out the first two Fannin County batters in the inning, issued a two-out walk, and then got the final batter to pop-out to catcher Kennedy in foul territory to end the game on the five-inning mercy rule.
The Panthers next host Lumpkin County, beginning at 4:15 p.m., September 3. Union has faced Lumpkin before this season, beating the Lady Indians 14-2 in Blairsville on August 8.
Union volleyball falls to Pickens in Blairsville
Sports, TeamFYNSports August 27, 2019
Blairsville, Ga. – Despite stand-out efforts from several players, the Union County High volleyball team lost to Pickens County, 3-0, Tuesday night in Blairsville.
After dropping the first game of the match 25-18, the Lady Panthers (3-8) rallied in the second game to give themselves game-point five different times, but couldn’t close the game and fell in a marathon, 31-29.
Coach Megan Swanson said after the match that the tough loss in the second game led to the disappointing, 25-13 loss in the third.
“(The second game) drained us emotionally, physically, and mentally. We lost the momentum we had built in the second game and just couldn’t get it back,” Swanson said.
The first game opened neck-and-neck, with 13 lead changes before the Dragonettes (4-15) took over for good at 14-13.
Senior Adelia Pyle had two kills in the game and sophomore Riley Allison added another, but the Lady Panthers couldn’t overcome a five-point streak and back-to-back four-points streaks from the Dragonettes to close out the game.
Game two looked to be moving in the same direction, with Pickens County building a 22-15 lead after several lead changes early, but six-straight points from Union County drew them within one at 22-21. The run was sparked by two big kills from Allison.
The lead changed hands another five times before the Dragonettes were able to close it out.
“(Pickens) is a good team. They were strong. They didn’t make many errors, and we just made more,” Swanson said. “They are one of the tougher teams we’ll see this year and I felt like we battled them pretty well through those first two games of the match.”
Pyle and Allison finished the night with seven kills each, while freshman Saylor Noe added a kill, and sophomore Morgan Fussell pitched in with a block.
Across the backline, the defense was anchored by senior libero Izzy Zamora.
Up next for Union County is a quad-match with East Hall, Johnson, and Eastside beginning at 5 p.m., Thursday, August 29, in Gainesville.
The Lady Panthers do not open play in Area 8-AA/A until September 24, when they host Oglethorpe County and Washington-Wilkes.
