Given the circumstances of the game, White County’s Stephanie Satterfield couldn’t have expected such a good pitch.

With runners on the corners and no score, Satterfield, the Warriors’ senior pitcher, got a pitch right over the plate and sent it flying over the center field fence for a three-run home run against East Hall on Friday at the Lanier Point Softball Complex.

In White County’s (1-0) opening game of the two-day Lanier Point Invitational, it was the only run support the Warriors would need en route to a 3-1 victory. Satterfield also threw a complete game and allowed an earned run with four hits allowed.

“That’s the kind of play that I expect out of Stephanie since she’s been clutch her entire career,” White County coach John Brown said. “She had a good day pitching.”

With the win, White County continues play today against Dawson County at 8 a.m., followed by a game against West Hall at 9:30 a.m.

In the third inning, Brittany Cooper got on base with a one-out walk, followed by a double from lead off hitter Sarabeth Cummins for the Lady Warriors.

East Hall scored in the fifth inning on an RBI single from leadoff hitter Brittany Gee (3-for-3) that scored Holly Strickland.

The victory for White County was some affirmation for Brown that his program can play with so many adjustments in the infield as a result of shortstop Heather Herdliska’s current absence with a broken thumb.

East Hall faces Dawson County at 11 a.m. today.

Pool play rounds of the tournament conclude this morning in the four separate divisions. Bracket play starts at 12:30 p.m. with the championship game at 8 p.m.
