JENA, La. — Kayla Smith pitched seven solid innings for Block and the Lady Bears took advantage of seven Vidalia errors in a 9-4 win over the Lady Vikings Saturday morning at the Jena Tournament.

Both teams finished with nine hits, but Vidalia’s miscues in the field as well as wild pitches by losing pitcher Laura Perilloux and Taylor Rogers proved to be very costly.

Perilloux allowed eight runs (three earned) on eight hits and walked one while striking out three batters in four innings. Rogers gave up just one run on one hit but also four walks and struck out one in two innings.

Smith went the distance for Block as she allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits and struck out eight batters. This after a shutting out the Lady Patriots before having a disappointing outing against Jena in an 11-3 loss to the Lady Giants Friday night.

Block (13-4) returns to LHSAA District 4-1A action on Monday when they play host to St. Mary’s at 4 p.m.
