Lady Tigers Improve to 2-0

Payton Appleberry was 3-for-4, and Stephanie Eckhoff pitched a complete game as the Republic Lady Tigers beat Reeds Spring 7-2.

Eckhoff struck out eight, and scattered eight hits over seven innings. She gave up a run in the 1st inning, as the Lady Tigers fell behind for the first time this season — but Republic answered with two in the bottom of the 1st, and never looked back.

The win improves the Lady Tigers to 2-0 this season. They’re back in action Monday, when they go on the road for the first time this season, to Monett.
