Andalusia’s Olivia Dixon struck out 11 in seven innings to help lead the Lady Bulldogs to a 5-2 win over Greenville Tuesday night.

“That was the difference,” AHS head softball coach Marcus Taylor said. “She (Dixon) was able to locate and keep the stuff down.”

With Tuesday’s victory, the Lady Bulldogs have won 10 games this season, and will play in a crucial area match up tonight against Ashford. The last time Andalusia played the Lady Yellow Jackets, the Lady Bulldogs lost 1-0.

“The biggest thing we’ve got to do is start hitting,” Taylor said about the upcoming contest against Ashford. “The only way we can match up against Ashford is to get the ball in play and hope that we do well.”

Andalusia scored two runs in the first inning, two runs in the fourth inning and one run in the sixth inning in the win over Greenville.

Jessica Park and Megan Pugh scored on passed balls in the first inning; Andi Hughes scored on a sac fly by Kelsey Ramirez, and Park scored on another passed ball in the fourth inning; and Ramirez scored on a sac fly by Pugh in the sixth inning.

Andalusia only had three hits against Greenville.

Park was 1-for-4 with one single and two runs; Abbie Young was 1-for-3 with one single; Hughes was 1-for-3 with one single and a run; and Pugh was 0-for-4 with one run.

Greenville scored one run in the second inning, and one run in the fourth inning on six hits.

The first pitch tonight against Ashford is slated for 4:30 p.m. at LBWCC.
