Florala’s Amber Johnson made a “tremendous” catch in the bottom of the seventh to help carry a 1-1 tie into extra innings, where the Lady Wildcats defeated Paxton 4-1 last night.

Lily pitched the full game.

Maddox said if the hit that Johnson caught would’ve gotten through, it would’ve turned the game and made it 3-1.

“She made a tremendous catch,” he said.

Pleasant Home’s Lady Eagles didn’t play their game last night because their coach, Bradley Stephens, was ill.
