The Union County Panthers (6-1, 0-0) handled the Commerce High School Tigers (6-4, 5-0) with ease on Thursday night thanks to a stellar fourth inning.

Lexi Sissum, Trinity Queen, and Aubrie Banton powered the big fourth inning for the Panthers as they all knocked in RBI’s.

Trinity Queen was on the mound for Union County. She threw five solid innings, surrendering one run on three hits, while striking out three and walking one batter.

After a little bit of a shaky start in the first inning by the Panthers where the Commerce Tigers scored a run on an error, they really settled in and did not allow the Tigers to touch home-plate again for the rest of the night.

Lexi Sissum had a huge night at the plate, where she went two for three with two doubles and drove in three runs.

The Panthers were also very active on the base paths, stealing a bag four different times.

Union County will play Fannin County again in Blue Ridge this time on the eighth of September before beginning a slate of region games against Banks County at home and Elbert County and Rabun County away.

The Panthers are on pace to have their best season in years thanks to their hot six and one overall start. If they can take this great team mentality that they have been playing with to start the season into region play, then they will be a force to be reckoned with come playoff softball time in Georgia.
