Vandalia was able to jump out to an early lead and scored three runs in the seventh inning, but it was not enough as they suffered a tough 7-6 loss at Carlinville in South Central Conference softball action on Friday night. Bella Walk led the game off with a walk and an RBI single from Elaina Hagy brought Walk in to score. Hagy then scored on a Cavies error for a 2-0 Vandalia lead. The Lady Vandals added on one more run as Mady McCall scored on a RBI groundout by Kenlie Finn as Vandalia led 3-0. Carlinville scored two runs in the first inning another five unanswered runs across the third and fourth innings to take the lead and put the Lady Vandals behind 7-3. Vandalia rallied in the top of the seventh with two outs as a line drive double off the bat of McCall scores Walk and Hagy and Katy Sefton followed up with a double to right field to score McCall as the Lady Vandals pulled to within one run of Carlinville, 7-6. A groundout ended the game though as the Lady Vandals took the 7-6 loss. Vandalia drops to 4-13 on the season and will play again on Monday as they will host Southwestern in SCC action.
