Missy Gators destroyed Ridgeland 23-4 on Friday

Vicksburg High School softball team crushed Ridgeland on Friday 23-4 in game one of the second round of the playoffs.

“We played amazing to say Ridgeland thought they were going to have the upper hand on us and we showed them today that they didn’t and hopefully tomorrow we go out and do the same thing,” Kellisia Walker said.

The Missy Gators came out swinging hard with RBIs by Jordan Grace, Kellisia Walker, Lexi Kistler, Amari Johnson, and Trinity McGloster to help VHS go up 8-1 in the first inning.

Walker and Charli VanNorman both got big hits in the second followed by a double by Lexi and Lili Kistler while they continued to run up the score with a 12-4 lead.

Before the end of the blowout, Grace would hit a single to add two more runs with the Missy Gators taking the 23-4 win.

VHS racked up 15 hits on the night as Walker, Lexi Kistler, and Johnson each had three while McGloster and Charli VanNorman ended the night with two hits. Flaggs led with four RBIs and Grace had three. McGloster, Walker, and Lexi Kistler had two RBIs.
