Nansemond-Suffolk Academy didn’t stand a chance on Friday, as the Southampton Lady Indians Varsity captured a blowout 9-1 win in seven innings.

The Southampton Lady Indians Varsity scored four runs in the fourth on an RBI single by Savannah Nipper, a steal of home by Skyler Bagnell, a groundout by Kaylee Edwards and a groundout by Shelby Billups. Kaylee racked up three RBIs on three hits for the Southampton Lady Indians Varsity.

The Southampton Lady Indians carried the momentum of their 9-1 victory over Nansmond Suffolk Academy into the rivalry game with the Broncos. That momentum brought 14 batters to the plate and 11 runs home in the top of the first, as they cruised to the 24-0 victory. Offensively, the game was highlighted with a Kaylee Edwards inside-the-park three-run home run.

The 11-run first was more than enough support for Indian pitchers, Katelyn Cobb and Miranda Joyner, who combined to throw a no hitter.

“The girls threw well today,” said Coach Susan Melbye. “They hit their spots, they limited their walks. It was a good day on the mound for Indian pitchers.”

The two pitchers combined for 12 Bronco strikeouts, 8 credited to Cobb, and allowed a mere one walk in the outstanding pitching performance.

“I am proud of the girls, they played with dignity and respect,” Melbye said. “They stayed focused and steady and when asked to sacrifice individual stats for a greater team accomplishment, they cheered and encouraged each other all game long. Games like this test our integrity and pride more than anything else and our girls exemplified the spirit and pride of what Indian softball and Southampton athletics stand for.”
