MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - History was made on Friday at Kay Williams Field as
Blair Hall pitched the first seven-inning perfect game in program history in against Hendrix, with Berry earning a 5-0 victory in a winner's bracket game at the Southern Athletic Association Softball Championship Berry Pod.
Both teams went through three innings scoreless. Though Berry (26-11, 15-3) had three hits, it couldn't seem to find the key hit to score a run. That changed in the fourth when Alyeea Thornton doubled, scoring Hall to give her team the first lead of the tournament.
In the fifth,
Morgan Frye singled, scoring
Riley Jackson, pushing all the momentum to the Vikings. They broke the game open shortly after, forcing the Warriors to make a pitching change.
Shelby Daniel, Hall, and
Abbey Gamble all drove in runners to complete the inning with four runs.
In her first season with the Vikings, Hall (7-2) went the distance, striking out five. Berry recorded 10 hits on the day offensively, while defensively, Frye recorded 14 putouts at first base as the Warriors put the ball in play but couldn't get anything past the Vikings' defense.
The Vikings will play the winner of game three of the Berry Pod of the SAA Championship at 2:30 p.m. Game three will be a rematch between the Warriors and Rhodes at 12 p.m.
